Rhyl pub with new landlady will host RNLI fundraiser weekend
Naomi Clarke, 43, who is 'born and bred in Rhyl', is the new landlady of The Swan, on Russell Road.
She started running the pub in late March, and has organised this weekend's fundraiser at the venue (June 14-15).
Rhyl has its own RNLI lifeboat station on East Parade – it was established in 1852 and is now one of the busiest in Wales.
Its new boathouse was completed in 2001, and it houses both an all-weather and an inshore lifeboat.
Naomi said: 'We're looking for local businesses to donate raffle prizes and help our local RNLI crew with vital funds that are needed every day to help them save lives at sea, and to help with all of their hard work for us in our community.
'We will be having live music all weekend, with great offers on drinks (with our new price range added), and will also be celebrating Father's Day on Sunday, too.
'There is no better place to be this weekend.'
The Swan is situated just off Rhyl's town centre.
The property also features a dining area, five bedrooms, an enclosed external patio/garden, and a separate shop premises available in addition to the pub.
After taking on the running of the pub, Naomi told the Journal in April: 'It's my first pub as a landlady. I've lived here all of my life, and it's one of the oldest pubs in Rhyl.
'It just appealed to me in every way.'
