The Three Daggers in Edington has begun work on a major development including a multi-use games area and expanded parking.

The Three Daggers, an 18th-century pub in Edington near Westbury, has begun work on a major development designed to create new sports and play facilities for the local community whilst addressing parking and congestion around the venue.

The approved plans include a new multi-use games area for village activities such as football and basketball, relocation of the existing village play park, more than 40 additional parking spaces and a new beer garden. The pub says the multi-use games area will be owned by the parish council once completed, making it a community asset available to the wider village.

Katie Thompson from The Three Daggers said the team had been working towards the project for a long time. 'It's a new chapter for The Three Daggers and we can't wait to bring everyone along with us as we continue to grow,' she said. The pub has pledged to continue investing in the play area and plans to hold annual fundraising events, with contributions going towards further improvements.
