Pontefract pub closed in December celebrates delayed Christmas

There is a free drink for customers wearing a Christmas jumper on Friday

Newsroom May 21 07:27

Staff and customers at a West Yorkshire pub are marking reopening by celebrating Christmas five months late.

The Green Dragon in Pontefract put up decorations in December, but tier 3 rules forced the venue to remain closed, with tinsel left on the walls.

The pub did not reopen at the first easing of restrictions in April, so regulars were met with baubles and Christmas songs on Monday.
