Snow Traps Customers In British Pub For 4 Days With Oasis Tribute Band

Posted: Monday, November 29th, 2021

We’ve all dreamed of living in a pub heaven’t we? 

Waking up to the sweet smell of a pint in the morning I mean it sounds glorious doesn’t it?

Well dozens of people are currently faced with that reality in the Yorkshire Dales after getting trapped in the Tan Hill Inn - Britains highest pub - following the torrential snow and rain from Storm Arwen over the weekend.

For 3 nights the patrons at the pub have been unable to leave due to nearby roads being rendered unusable and unsafe to drive on following the storm, with power cables and trees falling down and causing havoc in the area.

Now you might be thinking they’d be bored stiff but luckily for them, the reason so many of them decided to attend the pub on Friday evening was to see an Oasis tribute band…who is trapped inside there with them and most likely providing some form of entertainment during the usual set of circumstances. 

The Tan Hill Inn is 1,732ft above sea level and was surrounded by 3ft of snow on Saturday morning.

As reported by the BBC, A tunnel has since been dug out of the front door of the pub, but because of damage to power cables the roads are unusable.

Manager of the pub, Nicola Townsend said 61 people had so far spent two nights there, with many, including members of the band, having to set up camp in the pub's lounge.

She said 40 were pre-booked guests while others had gone to the pub for a drink on Friday.

"It's just been a lovely and everyone is in really good spirits” she said when interviewed by the BBC.

"They've formed quite a friendship, like a big family is the best way I can describe it.

"One lady actually said 'I don't want to leave’."

They are expected to be freed later today with rescue teams working on a safe solution.
