Banksy is thought to be the latest owner of a village pub in Somerset, The Crown in Pilton, and has been spotted by locals watching the rugby in the local area close to Glastonbury Festival.
The 17th-century Somerset pub has recently been undergone a £1million renovation and reopened in 2022 following two years of work including a new restaurant and a recreation of the festival's Pyramid stage in the garden. The venue is said to be a local for Glastonbury Festival aficionado Michael Eavis.
Others have noted that some of the works on display are by Dorcas Casey who appeared in Banksy’s 2015 Dismaland exhibition.
A local resident said: “Everyone here is talking about it. He’s been known to watch the rugby in the pub.”

A source told The Sun: "Banksy loved the idea of being part of Glastonbury and its right-on message.
"It’s also a gateway to all the music superstars who attend. He has put a decent chunk of money in."
However, Companies House records show the pub was taken on by KS Property and is being run by Worthy Farm-based couple Owain Powell and his partner Rowena Draper.
He told The Sun: "I bought the pub with a couple of friends."
