A Harrogate pub has closed for refurbishment.
The Kestrel pub, which is based on Wetherby Road, shut its doors this past weekend.
The pub, which is close to what is known as The Kestrel roundabout, offers country pub dining, as well as cask ales and wine.
In an email to customers over the weekend, it said it was closing for a “makeover” for a month.
It said:
We’re closing our doors on 23/03/2026 so we can make some changes. It won’t be long before all of us at the Kestrel will be welcoming you back to your favourite retreat.
The pub, which is operated by Village Inns, is expected to reopen on April 25.
