History of The Globe
The Globe was built in 1833 in what was then called Green Vale, alongside Glossop Brook. This still forms a wildlife corridor for dippers, wagtails, heron and brown trout (No fishing!). The main stable block was lost to fire long ago, but the remaining stable has been transformed into The Globe Brewery (see tasting notes) with Toby Brookes in charge.Music had thrived here - starting in 2000 local enthusiasts formed "The Lift Global Music Club", staging countless superb musicians from every continent except Antarctica!
Jennings Brewery owned The Globe at the time, and after the B.S.E outbreak they put many of their pubs on the market. We thought we would lose our wonderful venue until Ron Brookes bought it at auction in London. Diana Virgo became the licensee in 2002 and she and Ron have been running it ever since, with "Team Globe" - excellent staff, many of whom are musicians.

Di's Lovely Beer Garden
The award winning beer garden is a hidden gem - sheltered from the bustle of the A57 it is a gardener's delight... transformed over the years and ever evolving it is a scented sanctuary in Summer with a changing palette of colour that flows with the seasons.
