Save our historic local pub & create a community hub

Update 22 October 2024
Thanks to the incredible support from our community, we’re thrilled to announce that we’ve reached our initial GoFundMe target of £6,000, which combined with our other fundraising efforts came to over £10,000! This milestone has been made possible by the generosity of our amazing supporters, but the journey is far from over.
The real work begins now, as we set our sights on the much larger goal of raising £440,000 to purchase the Six Bells and bring our vision to life.
How We Plan to Raise the Funds:
- Funding Applications: We’ll be applying to various grants and funds available to us.
- Community Shares: You’ll have the opportunity to invest in our hub by purchasing shares.
- Donations: Contributions can still be made via this GoFundMe page or at our local events.
- Loans: We will explore loan options available to community benefit societies and groups with social purposes.
- We're a passionate group of local residents from Peterstone Wentlooge and the surrounding area, working to bring the historic and now derelict Six Bells Pub into community ownership. Our aim is to restore this building and transform it into a vibrant hub at the heart of our community.
Having raised £10,000, we can now put down a deposit, which will secure the pub and give us the time we need to gather the full amount through grants, community shares, and other fundraising efforts. The deposit will contribute towards the final purchase price, making us more competitive in funding bids and solidifying our path to ownership. However, if we are unable to raise the remaining funds, the deposit will be non-refundable.
Our Vision for the Six Bells Community Hub:
- A welcoming pub serving locally sourced food;
- A cozy spot for visitors to enjoy coffee and cake while exploring the Gwent Levels;
- A marketplace for locally farmed produce;
- An information centre highlighting the region’s incredible wildlife and geography.
- Thank you for your continued support as we embark on this exciting next phase!
