Ed Sheeran, the renowned British singer-songwriter, has taken his love for pubs to a whole new level.

In a recent episode of Alex Cooper’s podcast, Call Her Daddy, Sheeran revealed that he has built a pub in his backyard.

ED SHEERAN’S PRIVATE PUB

This unique addition to his English estate is not just a nostalgic nod to his past but also a clever way to maintain privacy in the face of fame, according to People.

Sheeran’s decision to create his pub was driven by the desire to relive carefree moments from his youth. “You can never really let loose the way that you used to be able to, as in my teenage years,” he explained.

“I think it sort of turned into everyone always knowing that I went to this place, and there was a dilapidated barn on my land. I was like, we could just turn it into a pub.”

The singer’s pub, named Lancaster Lock, is a sentimental tribute to his family. “It’s my mum’s maiden name and my wife’s mum’s maiden name,” Sheeran shared.

FAMILY AND PRIVACY

This personal touch reflects his commitment to family and privacy. The pub is equipped with a tunnel leading to it. The tunnel houses a listening room and a cinema.

Sheeran jokingly refers to this setup as his “man catacombs,” where he stores unique memorabilia, including movie props.

Sheeran’s love for collecting movie memorabilia is evident in his pub. He owns iconic items like Robin Williams’s Peter Pan costume and Julia Roberts’s Tinker Bell costume from the 1991 film Hook.

These treasures add to the pub’s charm, making it a one-of-a-kind entertainment space. The pub can accommodate around 40 to 50 people, and is designed to host intimate gatherings.

Sheeran humorously described these events as “ragers,” which typically involve between five and 12 close friends. “It’s like a crammed space,” he said, highlighting the cozy atmosphere.

This project is part of Sheeran’s broader vision to create a private village on his estate.

He has also built a chapel where he and his family enjoy special moments, such as Christmas carols followed by mulled wine and mince pies.

LIVING IN THE PUBLIC EYE

Sheeran’s motivation for building these structures stems from his desire for privacy. “There are certain moments you just want to spend with your family and not have someone filming you while you’re doing it,” he noted.

This sentiment resonates with many who value personal space, especially in the public eye.
