Good luck to all the runners in the Cheltenham Half Marathon today!

And especially (we’re showing our bias here, we don’t care) to our GM Lauren who will be absolutely smashing it in aid of Cancer Research UK.

We will have a cold one ready for you when you finish!

What a day.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for The Royal Garden Party on Monday and helped make it such a brilliant celebration!

A massive thank you to our incredible bands who gave their time and kept the music going all day:

* Das Gruve
* The Haskins
* Fat Tony
* Hambling & Lloyd
* Easy Monday

You were all fantastic.

Most of all, thank you to everyone who came along, enjoyed the music and supported what independent pubs are all about: bringing people together through live music, community events and great local hospitality.

We were also proud to be raising money for the wonderful Sue Ryder Leckhampton Court Hospice, whose work means so much to so many people.

Thank you for making it such a special day.

We'll see you next year for The Royal Garden Party on the late August Bank Holiday Monday.

The Royal Presents - A History of Pub Signs

Every great pub sign tells a story.

Join us at The Royal on Tuesday 30th September at 10am for a fascinating morning exploring the history, symbolism and surprising stories behind Britain's iconic pub signs with guest speaker Phil Collins (no, not that one).

From lions and crowns to curious characters and forgotten legends, you'll never look at a pub sign the same way again.

The best part? Your £5 deposit is fully redeemable against lunch afterwards, so settle in, stay for a bite and make a morning of it. It would be rude not to.

Wednesday 30th September
10am
£5 redeemable deposit

Spaces are limited, so book your place now.
