In a surprising and heartwarming revelation, Ed Sheeran has shared the unique project he’s been working on behind the scenes at his home — a pub. The talented singer, known for hits like Shape of You, recently opened up about this personal addition to his property during an interview on Alex Cooper’s Call Her Daddy podcast, which aired on April 9.
While most people might enjoy unwinding at bars or clubs, Sheeran revealed that he prefers spending time in a cozy pub — one that he has built right in his backyard. The 34-year-old singer explained that his inspiration for the pub comes from his teenage years, when he would visit a local pub with his friends.
However, after gaining fame, Sheeran found it increasingly difficult to enjoy his favorite spot without attracting attention. “Everyone always knew that I went to this place,” he said. “There was a dilapidated barn on my land, and I thought, why not turn it into a pub?”
The result? A charming garden pub that closely resembles the one he loved during his youth. Sheeran also shared that he bought the pub from eBay, which adds a quirky twist to the project. But it’s not just the design of the pub that holds meaning; it also carries sentimental value. The pub is named Lancaster Lock, a name inspired by the maiden names of both Sheeran’s mother and wife’s mother.
“It’s basically my mum’s maiden name and my wife’s mum’s maiden name,” Sheeran explained.
This personal, nostalgic addition to his home has sparked a wave of reactions from fans, with many expressing their admiration for the idea. Some are even requesting a full house tour, with one fan joking, “Ed’s creating his own town — Sheeranville sounds like a nice place to visit.”
Others saw the deeper significance of the pub, reflecting on how fame has shaped Sheeran’s life. One fan pointed out, “Imagine having to build your own world so you can enjoy it like a normal person. Puts fame in perspective.”
The creation of the Lancaster Lock pub offers fans a rare and intimate glimpse into Sheeran’s world, giving them a sense of his desire to find peace and normalcy despite his global fame.
