The Bell and Harp Pub, our home for running and socials

The Bell & Harp in Little Eaton is more than just a pub — it’s a slice of local legend. Originally a pair of 19th-century cottages, it sat on an old packhorse route where travellers would stop for rest, music, and ale. Rumour has it the name comes from the sounds of bells and harp tunes drifting from the bar. With its cosy beams, tiered layout, and open countryside views, it’s the perfect base for the Bell & Harp Running Club — a place to lace up, head out, and come back to great beer, warm fires, and good company.
