The Welsh pub that thousands of TV viewers are visiting thanks to a documentary that's gone global

It is a much-loved, yet unassuming pub at the heart of a north Wales town. But what once was a special place for locals is now a special place for many across the world after they fell in love with it when it appeared on a documentary.

The Turf Hotel, run by Wayne Jones and his wife Shelley, is located about half a mile from Wrexham town centre. It proudly displays all sorts of memorabilia associated with Wrexham Football Club, displaying past and present legions shirts, photographs, autographs and achievements.

It is a firm feature on the Disney documentary series Welcome to Wrexham, which chronicles the takeover of Wrexham AFC by Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. Scenes shot within the pub, including the two megastars having drinks in the pub, are regularly featured in the 18-episode series. Get stories like this straight to your inbox with our newsletters.
