The new tenants of a pub on the Norfolk Broads have been announced ahead of its reopening.
The Pleasure Boat Inn at Hickling Staithe was purchased by the Norfolk Wildlife Trust (NWT) in November 2023 and it is currently undergoing a major refurbishment.
It is due to welcome punters back later this summer, with the date yet to be announced.

A spokesperson for the NWT said: "Investing in a popular local pub is the first step in allowing us to create new ways to introduce people to the nature, landscape and wildlife of Hickling, including walking routes and a growing programme of boat trips from Staithe.
"We will work in partnership with Rick and Felicity to ensure that the pub works in harmony with the interests of Norfolk Wildlife Trust."
As well as the pub, the NWT also owns the adjacent buildings, large car park and associated moorings.
