It is great to see @JamesThomasHere drawing attention to our plans - here’s a little extract from the article…

“A PUB in Herefordshire could be set to be taken over and revamped as part of a community groups £500,000 plans.

The Oxford Arms in Kington could soon be a hub for the town, if a group of locals can get the community behind it and raise the substantial sum.

The group, Open Arms Kington, wants to start a social enterprise that will contribute to the town's social and economic regeneration and help build long-term community resilience coming out of the Covid pandemic. Its plans centre around the pub, in Duke Street, with the group wanting to create a space that presents opportunities for a wide range of ages, abilities and interests.

It is all part of the hope to secure a vibrant future for the landmark building, a 17th-century town centre coaching inn which boasts a bar, restaurant, function room, six ensuite letting bedrooms, owners accommodation, a beer patio and car park.”
