Shrewsbury pub to reopen after £472k makeover with 250 free drinks up for grabs
Free drinks will be offered to the first 250 customers
A Shrewsbury pub is set to reopen this week after a refurbishment that totalled almost half a million pounds.
The Charles Darwin in Shrewsbury will reopen on Thursday (November 12) following a £472,728 investment - which pub bosses say has given the pub a full transformation inside and out.
An Admiral Taverns spokesperson also confirmed that, when the pub reopens this week, it will do so under new management.
“Experienced Proper Pubs operator Samantha ‘Sam’ Morton will take the helm, moving from the successful Bear in Stafford,” they said.
“Sam is excited to help bring The Charles Darwin back into the heart of the community.”
A full weekend of entertainment is planned to follow the reopening, with the pub’s ongoing offer set to include live music consisting of a live singer on Friday night and Sunday afternoon, a DJ on Thursday and Saturday.
Future plans include karaoke nights, quiz nights and a games club, while sports fans can look forward to live sport and racing, alongside darts and pool teams.
The official opening celebration will kick off on Thursday from 6pm, with an official ribbon cutting ceremony, entertainment, a food van and a DJ.
Celebrations will include a huge drink giveaway, with the first 250 customers set to receive a free drink.
