The UK experienced a series of four earthquakes in the span of just eight hours, with one notably occurring directly beneath a well-known brewery. A total of 28 earthquakes have been recorded across the country since the beginning of 2025, all of which have been strong enough to be detected by the British Geological Society and measured on the Richter scale.

The first earthquake occurred at 3.03 am, registering a magnitude of 2.2 on the Richter scale. This was followed by additional tremors at 8.09 am and 8.27 am, all centered in the Argyll and Bute region.

However, an earthquake in Storridge, Worcestershire, posed a significant threat, striking near a popular pub. According to the BGS, the 2.0 magnitude quake occurred in close proximity to the Night Owl Brewery as well as Crumpton Oaks Farm, both located just off the A4103 road that passes through Storridge, reports the Daily Star.

Miles Stephens, co-founder and owner of the brewery, described the experience to the Daily Star. He said: "I was busy brewing the next batch of one of our beers called 'Flight', when I heard a deep rumble coupled with mild vibration."

"I thought it may be a low flying military aircraft coming through the valley as they often do, but it continued for a short time. I went outside to look, and the rumble carried on for several seconds then subsided."

"I was involved in a the tragic earthquake in Turkey in 1999 so it did immediately spring to mind as soon as I got out the door." The quakes are the latest in a series to hit the country so far this year, as the start of February saw a double strike, with one hitting at 1.52pm, while the second struck hours later at 9.28pm on February 1.

The first was felt near Ratlinghope, Shropshire, while the second struck near the famous Stake Hill Head fishing lake Bradley in North Yorkshire. Both of those measured just 0.5 on the scale, and ranged from 9km down to 13km respectively.

But the biggest to hit this month – and the biggest of the year so far – was felt in the Central North Sea, around 240km east of Aberdeen. This measured a whopping 3.5 on thee scale and stuck at around 12.05am on Monday morning. A BGS spokesman said: " The UK has experienced a series of earthquakes this year, with two occurring on February 1.

The first one occurred at 1.52pm near Ratlinghope, Shropshire, and the second one happened hours later at 9.28pm near the renowned Stake Hill Head fishing lake Bradley in North Yorkshire. Both quakes registered a minor 0.5 on the Richter scale and originated from depths ranging from 9km to 13km.

However, the most significant quake this month, and indeed this year, was felt in the Central North Sea, approximately 240km east of Aberdeen. This quake measured a substantial 3.5 on the Richter scale and occurred around 12.05am on Monday.

A spokesperson for the British Geological Survey (BGS) emphasised the importance of understanding the potential risk posed by earthquakes to the UK's infrastructure, stating: "Although historical observations dating back several centuries show that damaging earthquakes are relatively rare in the UK, they do occur so it is important to quantify the hazard they pose to the built environment."
