Hollywood star Rupert Everett spotted working behind bar of village pub

Rupert Everett supports local efforts by working bar shifts at The Swan, where about 30 volunteers help keep the only village pub running after recent closure.

  • On August 8, The Swan, village pub in Enford, Wiltshire, reopened and Rupert Everett, Hollywood star, began working shifts behind the bar to help keep it open.
  • After the last licensee left, the pub closed for a few weeks and volunteers organised repairs, painting, and garden work on the Grade II listed building.
  • Around 30 volunteers staff a rota, with Rupert Everett among them, and he said, `There has been an amazing effort by the community to keep this pub open`.
  • The Swan is currently available as a tenancy with a guide rent of £29,500 a year, and volunteers keep it afloat while operating Thursday to Sunday with local cask ales.
  • Everett will soon be seen in the second series of Rivals on Disney+ and said he would return to bar shifts probably at the end of the month.
