The Blagrave Arms is a gay-friendly pub in Reading, Berkshire.

"A town centre pub is to receive a major refurbishment and will stay open later as a gay-friendly, food-led venue."[1]

Three regular customers of the pub, James Furlong, David Wails and Joe Ritchie-Bennett, were murdered in the nearby Forbury Gardens on Saturday 20 June 2020 [2].
