The full list of Wetherspoons pubs at risk of closing

Ah, Wetherspoons. Teeming with students, retired folks, pre-club revellers and just normal people out for an affordable pint, ’Spoons is beloved by all. Sure, the guy that runs it all is a little, erm, controversial but it’s tough to argue with such cheap drinks. And when a Wetherspoons closes down, it feels like a huge community loss.

Since Wetherspoon announced the company intended to sell off pubs way back in July 2023, dozens of the boozers have shut. Several more are now set to shut, either because they’re up for sale, under offer or closing for other reasons. Last week the chain announced that it will be opening 15 more pubs up and down the UK, and you can find out more about those here.

It’s worth noting that ’Spoons doesn’t appear to be struggling financially – quite the opposite, in fact. From July 2023 to July 2024 the chain reported sales growth of 8 percent, and in the 13 weeks up to the end of April 2025 its profits rose by 5.6 percent. Wetherspoon regularly puts its pubs on the market, and these boozers often reopen as other pub brands. 

Here’s what we know about Wetherspoon pubs currently for sale, as well as those which have closed.
