Yr Heliwr had been closed for a decade, and the Nefyn community rallied together to save their precious local pub in 2018. After an impressive fundraising campaign the pub reopened in 2021, becoming the community’s vital hub once again.
The film explores how crucial the re-opening of Yr Heliwr was to the town of Nefyn, both socially and financially. Through interviews with regulars, volunteers and key stakeholders you learn how much the pub has revitalised the coastal town, with the high street brought back to life after the pub’s success.
The remarkable story offers a warm look inside of this small, Welsh town and highlights the effort they put into keeping the Welsh language and Welsh culture alive through the bar staff speaking in Welsh and the pub hosting Welsh lessons for locals and tourists.
This series has been put together by the filmmaking team Katie Greenhalf and Rachel Auty, with the help of Plunkett UK.
