The Boycott Arms. in Upper Ludstone, near Claverley, which is now part of the Admiral Pubs chain, opened its doors to customers again on March 16 following a four-week refurbishment.

New managers Donna Bannister and Dee Robinson are the third operators of the pub in less than a year, after the landlord who ran the venue since September 2017 stepped back in August of last year. The pub was then closed for two months until it opened again in October with a new landlady, before shutting its doors in January due to "unforeseen circumstances".

The pair decided to celebrate the pub's reopening with a month of activities, which was kick-started this weekend with afternoon tea offerings and a live screening of the King's coronation.
