TV channel Gold plan to recreate the iconic Nags Head pub featured in the much-loved British sitcom Only Fools and Horses this September to celebrate its 40th anniversary.   

Lovingly re-created as a replica of the original Nags Head (even down to the ashtrays!), fans and would-be Del Boys will be able to live out some of their favourite memorable moments from the pub, test their knowledge with a pub quiz and enjoy drinks at 1980s prices – 83p for a pint – washed down with a selection of classic bar snacks from the era including pork scratchings, scampi fries and cheeselets.

Devised by award-winning creative PR agency Taylor Herring in partnership with the UKTV in-house team, the pub will kick off Gold’s celebrations ahead of the channel turning back time by showing the very first episode of the TV classic at 8.30pm on Wednesday 8th September – the exact same date and time that it aired in 1981.

Gerald Casey, Gold channel director, said: “We’re excited to be able to celebrate 40 years of Only Fools and Horses, the nation’s favourite sitcom, with our recreation of the iconic Nags Head pub. We can’t wait to bring some classic Rodney and Del Boy moments to fans young and old when we air all episodes from the very beginning, starting 8th September on Gold channel. Cheers!

Del Boy and Rodney’s local boozer, the Nags Head, will be open for business in London on Friday 3rd and Saturday 4th September 2021.

Gold, the nation’s favourite comedy channel, will be celebrating 40 years of Only Fools and Horses throughout September, by airing every episode of the classic comedy on weeknights and weekends.
