Heysham pub to feature on Channel 5 show Coastal Britain

TV cameras were at a Heysham pub on Monday evening to film for an episode of a popular show.

The Royal – and Heysham village itself – will feature in Channel 5 show Coastal Britain.

They were visited by presenter Helen Skelton and her team to film and learn about the village for the forthcoming show.

Will Kitchen, who took over as the new general manager at The Royal in December, said they were proud to feature in the programme and have the chance to show off the pub and village.

“After all the hard work put in over the last few months, we are delighted to say our amazing Inn of character and fabulous village of Heysham have been selected to feature on Channel 5’s Coastal Britain.

"Helen Skelton and her team visited our beautiful 16th century inn, had dinner and filmed with myself and my team, whilst divulging into our homemade steak and ale pie and speaking about all things Heysham!

"It was an absolute pleasure to showcase all Heysham has to offer, how much of a hidden treasure our village is and show the country our incredible property.
