250-Mile Wetherspoons ‘Spoons Pilgrimage’ Adds Second Coach After Sellout

Strong demand for a low-cost, tightly timed pub tour signals the pull of novelty travel.

Overview

  • Lloyds Coaches launched a one-day Wetherspoons pub crawl across North Wales that sold out its first coach, prompting the operator to add a second with limited seats left.
  • The tour runs June 27, starts in Dolgellau at 9:15am, and costs £20 per person for coach travel only, with drinks bought separately.
  • Stops are set for six named pubs on the route: the Wilfred Owen in Oswestry, the Castle Hotel in Ruthin, the Picture House in Colwyn Bay, the Palladium in Llandudno, Tafarn y Porth in Caernarfon, and Pen Cob in Pwllheli.
  • Each venue stop is capped at about 45 minutes and the coach schedules travel legs of 20 minutes to over an hour, with a final drinking stop planned for 7:30pm before returning to Dolgellau.
  • Lloyds warns only passengers picked up between Dolgellau and Cemmaes Road will be brought back at the end, and coverage highlights the draw of standout venues such as the Grade II-listed Palladium, with more than 110 people already booked.
