AXES hanging above your head, a bicycle above the front door - this Evesham pub is perhaps one of the most unique drinking holes.

The Valkyrie Bar in Evesham's Market Square even comes with its own pub ghost according to staff who report glasses falling off shelves and objects moving places. 

The alleged ghosts could have come from the former jail cells beneath customers' feet which have since been concreted over.

The pub is situated under Evesham's Town Hall - not something many premises can boast about.

Katrina Edwards, co-owner of The Valkyrie, said: "We used to run The Trumpet and took on The Valkyrie in 2017. 

"Since then we have made it exactly what we wanted, it's brilliant. 

"The building already had a lot of history to it.

"We are standing on top of the old jail cells and the arches came from the abbey. 

"We have just added to it over time, Steve [Richford, the other co-owner] goes on trips, buys things and keeps adding.

"We go mad.

"We are known as a safe place in the centre of Evesham. 

"Anyone who is vulnerable is welcome to come in and talk with us because this is a safe place and a lot of people think of it as a second home."

The bar has three pool tables and two dart boards. 

Trophies line the back of the bar as The Valkyrie has multiple teams in both sports in local leagues. 

Some of the more popular drinks include Carling, Thatchers, and Guinness Zero, according to staff.

Mrs Edwards continued: "We are one of the more well-known pubs in Evesham and we have a nice friendly atmosphere. 

"We don't get too many famous guests but we've had a couple of people from Hollyoaks pop in and Nigel Huddleston comes in now and again.

"We do have some resident ghosts because strange things do happen. 

"Glasses drop off shelves and metal A-boards move."
