We are thrilled to announce that The Herbert Arms, the historic village pub at the heart of Chirbury, Shropshire, is entering an exciting new chapter under a new tenancy. The much‑loved 18th‑century pub will soon re-open its doors to the community marking an important moment in the life of this treasured rural landmark.
Originally built as a red‑brick coaching inn, The Herbert Arms has served generations of travellers, families, farmers, and local residents for more than two centuries. Its heritage as a long‑standing gathering place has made it a focal point of village life and a distinctive part of Shropshire’s rural character.
The re-opening of The Herbert Arms continues this proud tradition of hospitality, renewing its role as a welcoming hub for the Chirbury community and visitors to the area.
Powis Estates is delighted to welcome Matt and Ailsa as the new custodians of this historic public house and wishes them every success in their new venture. Their stewardship signals a renewed period of vitality for the pub, and their commitment promises to bring fresh energy to one of Chirbury’s most enduring landmarks.
We are confident that The Herbert Arms will continue to serve as a much‑cherished part of village life and remain a celebrated feature of the Shropshire countryside.
