Meet the Community
A picturesque village on the Wye
Brockweir Village sits half way between Monmouth and Chepstow, a key waypoint along Offa's Dyke Path.
The village is a popular stop-off point for ramblers, bikers and travellers from afar looking for a taste of quintessential British countryside living.
An active community
Brockweir is a thriving community home to ~500 people of all ages and backgrounds. Events run year round for all tastes, be it music, fireworks, theatre or perhaps our infamous summer Soap Box Derby.
Outside of the bigger events, there are regular meetups, activities and social circles for everyone.
A determined lot!
This initiative wouldn't be possible without the support and determination of the wider community.
Offers of support, donations and pledges have come flying in! From a community that's ready to roll up our sleeves and do the donkey work needed to save our pub.
