Discover the Dukes Head: A Revitalized Local Gem
Greetings, everyone!
I’m excited to share a bit about a pub that you might not have considered visiting in the past – the Dukes Head. My name is Claire, and along with my husband Ed, we took ownership of this charming establishment in May of last year. After completing an extensive renovation, we proudly reopened our doors to the community in August.
The Dukes Head is now a vibrant hub for local gatherings and activities. We’re thrilled to host a range of community clubs, including:
- Wokingham Life Drawing Society (Join us this Thursday at 7:30 PM)
- Knit & Sip (Every Monday from 7 to 9 PM)
- Ukulele Jam (Every other Wednesday at 8 PM)
Additionally, we have a popular Vinyl Club that meets on the third Tuesday of each month, celebrating the joy of music in a relaxed atmosphere.
This Friday, don’t miss our Open Mic Night, where you can enjoy performances from local talent and catch at least one band each month. If you have a club or event in mind that you’d like to host, feel free to reach out to us – we’d love to help make it happen!
In addition to our community events, we’re excited about our fantastic food offerings. Our kitchen features Tataki Pan Asian, and you’ll also find Spudwagon in our car park. You’re welcome to enjoy meals from both kitchens as long as you purchase a drink from the bar. Plus, kids are welcome until 9:30 PM, and well-behaved dogs are more than welcome too!
For those looking for some fun, we have a pool table, free darts, and a selection of board games to enjoy.
We truly hope you’ll come by and experience what the Dukes Head has to offer. You can find us at 56 Denmark Street, Wokingham. We can’t wait to meet you!
What an inspiring transformation! The Dukes Head truly exemplifies how a dedicated community-focused approach can revitalize a local pub into a vibrant hub for social connection and creativity. It’s fantastic to see such diverse offerings—from arts and music to culinary delights and family-friendly spaces—coming together under one roof. Incorporating activities like life drawing, knit and sip, and open mic nights not only fosters community engagement but also provides a wonderful platform for local talent and interests to flourish. I appreciate your emphasis on inclusivity, welcoming kids and dogs, which makes it a truly inviting space for all. Looking forward to visiting and experiencing the warm atmosphere and lively events you’ve cultivated!
What a fantastic update on the revitalization of the Dukes Head! It’s inspiring to see a local pub transforming into a community hub that offers diverse activities and foster connections among residents. Initiatives like the Life Drawing Society, Knit & Sip, and Vinyl Club not only add vibrant cultural elements but also create welcoming spaces for people to share their passions. It’s great to see such a thoughtful blend of entertainment, arts, and community engagement, along with the inclusion of family-friendly options and pet-friendly policies.
This approach not only boosts local patronage but also helps strengthen community bonds—something many establishments could aspire to. Looking forward to hearing how these events continue to grow and contribute to Wokingham’s social fabric!
