Landmark Knaresborough pub soldThe Half Moon pub in Knaresborough has been sold.
The free house on Abbey Road has been bought by Trust Inns, a Chorley-based company that owns nearly 500 pubs in England, Scotland and Wales.
The landmark pub is close to the town’s Low Bridge and has been extensively refurbished in recent years.
A team from the Half Moon takes part in the annual tug-of-war competition over the River Nidd against punters from nearby Mother Shipton’s Inn, although the event has been cancelled for the last two years due to covid.
Trust Inns tweeted news of its new purchase today, and included a photo of the pub’s new landlord, Tom.

Knaresborough’s Dower House sold for undisclosed fee
The Dower House and Spa in Knaresborough has been acquired by The Inn Collection Group for an undisclosed figure.
The 15th century, Grade II listed building on Bond End has 38 bedrooms, a spa and swimming pool along with several bars, lounges and function areas.
It becomes the seventh site in Yorkshire owned by the expanding pubco, whose portfolio also includes Ripon Spa Hotel, Dean Court Hotel in York and the Black Swan in Helmsley.
The group owns 26 estates in total across the north of England and plans to begin refurbishing Dower House next year.
It said this would include a sympathetic restoration and remodelling in order to “enhance its environment, improve accessibility and align the site with The Inn Collection Group’s quality, food-driven pubs with rooms offer”.
The Inn Collection Group’s managing director Sean Donkin said:
“We are excited to be growing our foothold in Yorkshire with the addition of The Dower House and Spa. It is a tremendous site, steeped in character and history in a stunning destination location.
“We’re looking forward to investing in the team and site and realising Dower House’s full potential while preserving the heritage and charm it holds.”
