Radnor Arms, New Radnor

Community Owned

Freehold Owner: Community Benefit Society. Radnor Arms Community Benefit Society. Year Purchased 2022.

A community group acquired the Radnor Arms in New Radnor at auction on the 20th October 2022 for £115,000. The condition of the pub is semi-derelict. A group called the Radnor Arms Action Group (RAAG) was initially behind the initiative and was led by the owner of the (nearby) Radnorshire Brewery, Ben Anson. They establish the Radnor Arms Community Benefit Society and organised a community share scheme, and had total pledges for a little over the asking price (a private individual purchased the pub on their behalf at the auction). In July 2023 they received £244,000 from the Community Ownership Fund to renovate the building into a community pub. They are now renovating the pub. By April 2025 they were holding regular popup events and fully reopening on 20 April 2025.
