Description

2023 marked the 180th anniversary of Arkell's Brewery, which was established in 1843 by John Arkell. The Arkell family still brew in the original Victorian brewhouse. The brewery owns nearly 100 pubs across Wiltshire, Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire, Berkshire and Hampshire. In 2018 a brewery shop and visitor centre opened onsite. Seasonal beers are brewed frequently, often linked to sporting/national events.
