Hosted at the Oriel Q Gallery in Narberth, "The Local" is a curated exhibition celebrating the enduring legacy of British pub culture. The show explores how public houses serve as more than just drinking establishments, acting as central pillars for village and town life where friendships and community bonds are forged.

The exhibition incorporates various mediums, including visual artworks and poetry, echoing the literary tradition of Dylan Thomas. While the themes address the broader history and future of UK pub heritage, the collection places a special emphasis on the unique character of local pubs found within the Narberth area.

The Oriel Q Gallery, located in Market Square, is a volunteer-run cultural space with a nearly 40-year history in Pembrokeshire. The exhibition launches on June 6 and remains open to the public during regular gallery hours from Monday to Saturday, with the exception of Tuesdays.
