The World of Groggs

From Humble Beginnings


In 1965, John Hughes began handcrafting and painting figures in a modest coal shed at the back of his home in Treforest. Initially, he focused on creating characters from the Mabinogion, the Old Testament, and animals. The name ‘Grogg’ was born from the nickname for his small workshop, ‘The Grogshop.’

Wales’ rugby success in the 1970s prompted Hughes to shift focus, sculpting caricatures of Welsh sporting icons, with his first creations being Gareth Edwards and JPR Williams. As Welsh rugby’s popularity surged, Hughes' Groggs gained immense appeal among both rugby fans and players.

By the 1980s, the business had expanded significantly, leading to the opening of a new Grogg shop and museum in Treforest, where it remains today. Richard Hughes, John’s son, joined the business and broadened the scope of the collection, incorporating other renowned Welsh figures.
