The Derby Arms, situated in the heart of Rainford, St Helens.

A new lease of life has been granted for this charming village pub. We embraced and enhanced the pub’s existing traditional character to create a warm, cosy, and welcoming atmosphere throughout.

The bar and snug area are complimented by two distinctive dining spaces, perfectly suited to relaxed lunches, intimate dinners, and family gatherings alike.

Layered textures and tones were thoughtfully introduced through a refined paint palette, soft florals, rich leathers, luxurious velvets, and subtle geometrics.

A carefully considered artwork scheme assisted in transforming each space to give its own distinctive look & feel.

Outside, the transformation continues with a complete exterior refresh designed to elevate the pub’s kerb appeal. New festoon lighting, quality hardwood furniture, and a full external redecoration have created an inviting outdoor setting to be enjoyed for years to come.

Swipe through to see the transformation!
