The Angel turns 30 this week!

An ancient pub that is still a central part of the town’s night scene is celebrating the 30^th anniversary since it reopened.

The Angel was reopened by local businessman Craig Humphreys on March 22, 1995, and is celebrating with a major party that is open to all this Saturday night.

Two bands are performing live - Helium Believers and Built4Comfort – with DJ Spence on the decks.

The business is undergoing a major renovation that will double its size, and this weekend visitors have the chance to have a first glimpse of the new games room which is fitted out with two dart boards and a pool table.

There will also be a food truck on site with special birthday shots and cocktails to celebrate.
