A Glastonbury owner has denied that Banksy is involved with a quirky new pub. The anonymous graffiti artist, who hails from Bristol, was rumoured to have snapped up a pub in Somerset with some friends, with whom he invested £1 million into giving it a new lease of life.
According to The Sun, The Crown in Pilton - the village which hosts the legendary Glastonbury Festival - boasts plenty of quirky decor. Eccentric art is plastered all over the walls and a taxidermied squirrel can be found enjoying a game of pool in its glass case.
Although none of the fixtures are believed to be Banksy's, a source has suggested that the world-renowned artist was hoping to "squirrel away" some of his fortune, but now owner Owain Powell has denied Banksy's involvement. Some of the works being showcased in the unusual pub are the work of Dorcas Casey, who featured in Banksy's Dismaland exhibition in Weston-super-Mare back in 2015.
