WELCOME TO OUR COMMUNITY-OWNED PUB
THE STORY OF THE RADNOR ARMS
The village of New Radnor had been without a pub since 2016. That changed in 2024. Thanks to your help, we purchased the Radnor Arms, and it is now a functioning community pub.
​
During the spring of 2024, we fundraised as the Radnor Arms Hotel Limited Community Benefit Society (CBS), raising an incredible £200,000 through our share offer, committee funds and a grant from the Architectural Heritage Fund.
This was used to match fund the grant award of £200,000 capital along with a further 40,000 revenue fund through the Community Ownership Fund.
This enabled our community to purchase the Radnor Arms from our generous interim owner, complete extensive renovations and proudly re-open our much-loved community-owned pub here in New Radnor.
​
However, we still need your help. With the main bar now renovated and open, and the back bar not far behind, we are about to begin our Phase 4 renovation.
​
As Phase 4 begins, the committee and shareholders will be reviewing plans for the much-needed extension and the renovation of the upstairs rooms (the pub previously operated as a hotel).
​
Although our open share offer is not currently active, you can still buy shares in the Radnor Arms, our community pub, from just £25 to £20,000. And the best part? Everyone has an equal say. No matter how many shares you buy, you get one vote, keeping our pub truly community-owend and community-led.

THE RADNOR ARMS
The pub that refused to stay closed
​
The Radnor Arms is a community-owned pub, run by a volunteer committee elected by its shareholders. After closing nine years ago, the doors are now open, and the bar is flowing!
​
We're now trading Fridays, Saturdays & Sundays. Our volunteer team is a mix of experienced bar leads and enthusiastic individuals who are helping to bring the pub back to life.​
​
We’re also working on the back bar and site renovations. Surveys are done, architects are being approached, and grant applications are underway. It’s a slow but exciting journey...
