Something exciting is happening at The Red Lion at Kniveton.

We’ve been chatting with some of our newer customers, and lots of them have said the same thing — they’ve driven past us for years but never popped in… so we thought it was time to change that!

We’re giving the front of the pub a bold new look.

We’re thrilled to be teaming up with our Spanish friend and incredibly talented graffiti artist, Tonto de Abril, who will be starting work on our brand-new mural this week. If the weather stays kind, it should be finished by the end of the Bank Holiday weekend — and we can’t wait for you to see it!

We’ll be open as usual throughout, so why not stop by, grab a drink, and watch the artwork come to life? (There may be some temporary limits on parking while work is underway.)

👀 This image is the artist’s impression that Tonto will be working to — and if the real thing is anything like it, it’s going to look amazing!

*****UPDATE*****
As the majority of you realised, this was posted on April the first (Tonto de Abril is a loose translation of April Fool) - however the truth is we will be open over the Easter weekend including the Bank Holiday Monday, so whether you just want to grab a quick pint or book a table for Sunday Lunch you'll be most welcome.
