The Turf pub holds significant importance for Wrexham AFC, as the club was founded there in 1864. The pub has been featured in the Disney series Welcome to Wrexham, showcasing its rich history and lively atmosphere. Reynolds and Mac have stated that the purchase is intended to protect the historical pub, ensuring that Wrexham supporters can continue to enjoy their pre- and post-match drinks there for years to come.
The pub has been a popular spot for celebrities, including Prince William, who tapped a beer with Mac in 2024 to celebrate St David's Day. Wayne Jones, the regular pub owner, will continue to run the business as usual, according to a statement from Wrexham. Jones expressed his enthusiasm for the development, looking forward to welcoming the next generation of Wrexham fans to the pub.
The purchase is a positive move for the club and its supporters, as it secures the future of The Turf pub and its unique blend of history, atmosphere, and celebrity appearances.
