THE VOLUNTEER pub in Ventnor will close this weekend.
Famed for being one of the smallest pubs on the Island and for its selection of real ales, the pub will open for the last time under its current management on New Year's Eve.
The County Press understands that the pub will reopen in the future under new management after refurbishment works.
A post on The Volunteer's Facebook page invited regulars and visitors to attend a New Year's Eve party.
"It's the last open pub day we will be having, so please come and join us all for a final party — and of course a few beers or six. Hope to see you there."
