Marston's plc is a British pub and hotel operator. Founded as a brewery by John Marston in 1834,[3] it is listed on the London Stock Exchange.
In 2020, the company shifted its main focus away from its original brewing operations, entering it into a venture with Carlsberg Group's UK operations as Carlsberg Marston's Brewing Company (CMBC). In July 2024, Carlsberg bought out Marston's remaining 40% share, ending the company's 190 years of owning breweries.
