The Feathers pub, a staple of Wymondham’s market town charm, stands proudly as a testament to the area’s rich history. Dating back to the 18th century, with much of its current structure rooted in the early 19th century, it offers a warm embrace to a diverse clientele spanning generations. The pub’s interior is a cosy sanctuary, featuring a long bar accented by intimate alcoves and walls adorned with memorabilia that echo the social and agricultural history of the town.
Whisky jugs and a game of darts
A notable feature of The Feathers is the impressive collection of whisky water jugs, numbering around 70, that hang from the ceiling, adding a touch of character to the establishment. In a nod to tradition, The Feathers eschews modern distractions like television, instead preserving the classic game of darts for entertainment.
A beer garden and the heart of the community
Outside, the pub extends its hospitality to a paved patio-style beer garden, inviting patrons to enjoy the pleasant atmosphere in the open air. The Feathers is not merely a pub; it is a cornerstone of community life in Wymondham, where every visit is an opportunity to weave new stories into its longstanding narrative.

Home to Wymondham Chess Club
In addition to its role as a convivial public house, The Feathers also serves as the venue for the Wymondham Chess Club. The club meets in a dedicated space upstairs, away from the main bar, allowing members to focus on their chess games in a more tranquil setting. Here, they can enjoy the best of both worlds: the mental challenge of chess and the simple pleasure of a pint.
