Wenvoe

The Wenvoe Arms is a village pub in Wenvoe, in the Vale of Glamorgan, Wales. Dating back to the late 18th century, the pub has been a focal point of the village for many years, and many committee meetings were held here. The pub was bought by S A Brain sometime in the mid 1980s, which was viewed at the time as the final step in the corporatisation of Wales' small rural communities, from its days as a tight-knit farming community, through the population explosion in the 1960s to the present day. A malt house was once located behind the pub.Although the village's population number of a few hundred at the beginning of the 20th century has been vastly augmented, the pub maintains a small and close-knit group of regulars, many of whom have been drinking at the Wenvoe Arms for many years. Every Thursday the pub offers pole dancing and burlesque lessons.
