It\u2019s Rhi here, your landlady at The Halfway Pub. Today, I\u2019m excited to chat about one of my favourite things\u2014upcycling. If you\u2019ve ever visited us, you might have noticed a few quirky items around the pub that have been given a fresh lease on life. Let me take you on a little tour!<\/p><p><strong>What\u2019s Upcycling?<\/strong><\/p><p>First things first\u2014upcycling is all about transforming old, worn-out items into something useful and beautiful. It\u2019s like giving them a second chance to shine! Unlike recycling, where materials are broken down, upcycling keeps the original item intact, adding a creative twist that turns it into something new.<\/p><p><strong>Quirky Creations in The Halfway Garden<\/strong><\/p><p>When you visit our garden, keep an eye out for some of our unique upcycled pieces. One of the stars of the show is our upcycled cable drum table.\u00a0<\/p><p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6031 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/thehalfwaypub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-09-04-at-19.54.12_1e0b4757-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thehalfwaypub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-09-04-at-19.54.12_1e0b4757-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thehalfwaypub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-09-04-at-19.54.12_1e0b4757-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/thehalfwaypub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-09-04-at-19.54.12_1e0b4757-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/thehalfwaypub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-09-04-at-19.54.12_1e0b4757.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p><p><span style=\"color: inherit; background-color: var(--background-color); font-family: var(--fontFamily); font-size: var(--fontSize); font-style: var(--fontStyle,inherit); font-weight: var(--fontWeight,normal); letter-spacing: var(--letterSpacing); text-transform: var(--textTransform);\">This industrial relic has been splash-painted in vibrant colours, turning it into a funky outdoor table where you can enjoy your pint in the sunshine.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"background-color: var(--background-color); color: inherit; font-family: var(--fontFamily); font-size: var(--fontSize); font-style: var(--fontStyle,inherit); font-weight: var(--fontWeight,normal); letter-spacing: var(--letterSpacing); text-transform: var(--textTransform);\">It\u2019s not just practical; it adds a burst of creativity to the garden.<\/span><\/p><p>Ever planted creepers and cactus and perennials into your chest of drawers?

These aren\u2019t just any old benches\u2014they have a history that is richer than the gravy we dish up for Sunday lunch. Legend has it that the wood for these settles came from the old Cardiff Arms Park changing rooms, where the Welsh national rugby team prepared for matches.<\/p><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6036 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/thehalfwaypub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-09-04-at-19.54.10_5f95143a-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"563\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thehalfwaypub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-09-04-at-19.54.10_5f95143a-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thehalfwaypub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-09-04-at-19.54.10_5f95143a-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thehalfwaypub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-09-04-at-19.54.10_5f95143a-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thehalfwaypub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-09-04-at-19.54.10_5f95143a-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/thehalfwaypub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-09-04-at-19.54.10_5f95143a.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p><p>Imagine that\u2014some of the greatest rugby players in the world on their day might have sat on these very seats, gearing up for a big game! If you look closely, you might even spot the old hook holes where their kits and boots would have hung. I like to think that perhaps the likes of Cliff Morgan, Gareth Edwards, or JPR Williams might have perched on these very benches, sharing a joke or steeling themselves for the match ahead. It\u2019s a wonderful blend of history and upcycling, giving these benches a new life while keeping a connection to our sporting heritage. Today, these seats are the thrones for some of our most well loved locals &#8211; and there&#8217;s always space for you too &#8211; no matter whether you&#8217;re a regular or just passing by!<\/p><p><strong>My Love for Upcycling: Creativity Meets Community<\/strong><\/p><p>For me, upcycling is about more than just giving objects a new purpose\u2014it\u2019s a way to honour the past while embracing the future. My background and studies in art (long before my landlady days) has always fuelled my passion for creativity, and I love finding new ways to bring that creativity into the pub. Upcycling allows me to blend my love for art with my commitment to the community, creating spaces that feel welcoming and unique&#8230;even if its just bit by bit.\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>The Halfway: My Ultimate Upcycling Project<\/strong><\/p><p>Of all the things I\u2019ve upcycled, I\u2019m most proud of The Halfway Pub itself. When Jason and I took this little gem on, I wanted to preserve its traditional charm while adding a splash of creativity to make it feel fresh and inviting. The pub isn\u2019t just a place to eat and drink; it\u2019s a community hub where old meets new, where history blends with a little nod to modern individuality.<\/p><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6033 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/thehalfwaypub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-09-04-at-19.54.12_758f27b0-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thehalfwaypub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-09-04-at-19.54.12_758f27b0-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thehalfwaypub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-09-04-at-19.54.12_758f27b0-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/thehalfwaypub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-09-04-at-19.54.12_758f27b0-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/thehalfwaypub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-09-04-at-19.54.12_758f27b0.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p><p>Upcycling has allowed us to create a pub that\u2019s not just a venue but a vibrant part of the community.
