PUB crawls are a favourite pastime of Brits – and there is a unique one in the UK called the ‘Spoons Safari’.
Lloyds Coaches has launched a new tour travelling 250-miles across Wales stopping in at seven Wetherspoons along the way and it’s so popular that it’s quickly selling out.

Those who are keen to hop onboard the Wetherspoons will be pleased to know that tickets are just £20 – sadly, drinks are not included.
Teasing more about its Spoons special, Lloyds Coaches said: “Ready for a legendary day out without the ‘who’s driving?’ debate. Grab your mates and hop aboard for the Lloyds Coaches Wetherspoons Tour.
“We’re hitting some of the most iconic pubs across North Wales and the border. Whether you’re in it for the affordable ales, the legendary breakfasts, or just to check the carpet patterns, this is the trip for you!”
The tour is so popular that the first coach has already sold-out, and spaces are filling up on the second.
Here’s how it plays out for those keen to book a seat.
On June 27 at 10:15am, the coach sets off from Dolgellau in Wales and with multiple pick-ups along the way, stops at the first Wetherspoons under four hours later at the Wilfred Owen in Oswestry.
The second Spoons stop on the list is The Castle Hotel in Ruthin.
Then onto The Picture House in Colwyn Bay which has been considered one of the most beautiful pubs by its punters.
The pub can be found inside the former Princess Cinema, which was built in 1914 and originally called the Princess Picture House.
It still has original Art Deco design features from stained glass windows and lighting fixtures, as well as artwork on the walls.
The next stop is The Palladium in Llandudno which is arguably the most impressive on the tour.
Formerly a cinema, the building first opened to the public in the 1920s, it has eye-catching decor with a ceiling with gold detailing and red carpet.
There’s seating on three floors, including stalls, dress circle and balcony, before being used as a theatre and music hall.
It opened as a Wetherspoons in 2001.
After sinking another pint or two, the tour heads to the penultimate pub; Tafarn y Porth in Caernarfon.
The pub is in the middle of the city that’s well-known for its royal 13th century castle.
Finally, the tour comes to a close at Pen Cob in Pwllheli which is just minutes from the seafront and at 9:15 PM, the tour comes to a close.
It’s not the first time there has been Wetherspoons special tours around the country.
Last year, one tour operator offered a £699 six-day outing around some of the chain’s top pubs – and it included £50 to spend on booze.
The trip took keen punters to boozers like the Standing Order in Derby, The Chief Justice and the Common Pleas in Keswick and Penrith’s The Dog Beck.
It also includes The North Western in Liverpool and The Winter Gardens in Harrogate, plus Blackpool‘s Velvet Coaster.
