The Black Hat in Ilkley is to close from this weekend, reopening under new ownership in April.
The Church Street venue announced the news on socials media this week, owners Stonegate Group have been advertising a new tenancy opportunity on its company website since 2025 - marketed as 'a true turnkey hospitality opportunity for an experienced operator.'
Originally the Rose & Crown, it was Renaissance for four years from 2010 and opened at The Black Hat after a major refurbishment in 2014.
