Now back to serving the local community, the Radnor Arms in New Radnor has again opened its doors for good.

Former Radnor Arms landlord Nigel had the honour of cutting the ribbon at the pub’s reopening on Saturday, April 18.

Community-owned, the pub was closed in 2016 after falling into disrepair and has spent the last eight years as a silent reminder of what was once a thriving village hub.

Thanks to a successful community share offer and marketing campaign, local residents and those from as far away as Australia raised the funds needed to purchase the pub in 2024, and soon after the purchase, extensive repair works began.

Now with a completely renovated main bar and lounges, the pub can officially open permanently to serve the village of New Radnor and its surrounding area.

The CBS (Community Benefit Society) has also opened community toilets along with the pub, allowing the pub to operate with fully functioning facilities and provide the wider community and visitors with toilet access throughout the year.

Building work is still ongoing, with repairs to other parts of the pub set to take place safely around the pub’s operating hours.

The pub is open weekly from Friday through to Sunday. Opening hours can be found here: www.theradnorarms.com
