The closure ends more than two and a half years of trading at the village pub. For customers, the immediate change is simple: the doors are shut now, and Stonegate Group has not set out a reopening date.

Stonegate Group said it is seeking a new tenant for the site. That search is the step that will decide when the Foresters Arms can trade again, with the company saying it looks forward to welcoming customers back in the near future.

The pub is operated by Stonegate Group, which described the closure as temporary. The company’s next move is to find someone to take on the publican role and return the venue to trading.

For regulars in Lower Cumberworth, the practical position is now clear: the pub is closed, the replacement tenant has not yet been named, and the reopening depends on Stonegate Group completing that search.
