A major reopening event is set to take place at a Rutland community pub tonight as the venue celebrates reopening after a two-year closure.

The King's Arms in Wing will officially reopen its doors on Friday 16 October with a grand opening ceremony.

The celebrations will kick off from 5.45pm at Wing Village Hall with the taking down of the 'Save Our Pub' banner.

From there, gathered villagers will head to the King's Arms for 6pm, where High Sheriff of Rutland, Susannah Fish, will formally declare the pub open.

The pub has been closed since December 2024 and, since then, Wing residents have rallied behind efforts to secure the pub's future.

Organisers said: "After being closed since December 2024, we're thrilled to have our village pub back and to welcome Ali and Charlotte.

"Come along for celebratory drinks, a catch-up with neighbours and a warm welcome to the new team."

The pub soft launched its opening on Thursday 8 October.
