£1m Wetherspoons pub restoration reveals incredible features that had been hidden for years

Wetherspoons has unveiled its fully restored ceiling at a pub in north Wales after a 15-month project. The Palladium, which is located in the Conwy seaside town of Llandudno, has undergone extensive refurbishment and restoration work, costing approximately £1 million North Wales Live reports.

The refurbishment project involved the full repair, restoration and redecoration of the historic fibrous decorative ceiling. The pub, which is a Grade II listed former theatre, picture house and music hall building in Gloddaeth Street, first opened as a Wetherspoon pub in August 2001 and remained open throughout the works.

In March 2022, a full crash deck/scaffold was erected, following concerns for the safety of a small section of the ceiling and after Wetherspoon’s commitment to carrying out ceiling inspections. The purpose of this guidance is to ensure all suspended fibrous plaster ceilings are inspected and certified to ensure their safety and conservation, according to North Wales Live.
