A KIRKBY Lonsdale inn which has been closed since before Christmas is under new ownership.
During the festive period, it was reported that guests with bookings had turned up at the Red Dragon Inn, Main Street, only to find it closed.
New business owners Country Village Inns formally picked up the keys yesterday.
A company spokesman said it would be recruiting and it was hoped the pub would be open by the end of February.
