All the Greater Manchester pubs that have closed in the last year as industry nears 'cliff edge'
manchestereveningnews.co.ukFigures released by the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) show that more than a thousand pubs across the UK closed their doors in 2023.
The research was collected by CAMRA and came from its online database whatpub.com, with a total of 1,293 business closures confirmed.
According to the report published in February, the closures in 2023 were equivalent to 64 million fewer pints sold and £103 million lost to local economies.
Here in Greater Manchester alone, during the course of 2023, there were 24 permanent closures and 60 long-term closures. However, the data also found that there were 296 pub openings, where pubs have been built or buildings converted to be used as pubs, across the UK in the same period.
