NEW tenants are to take over a Devizes pub popular with drinkers and live music lovers.

Sarah and Ian Wixon are leaving the Southgate at the end of the month and the pub will be run by Dave Wright and Debbie Barnet from March 27.

They want to increase the number of different ales served and will hold a beer festival over the Easter weekend with live music.

Paul Sullivan managing director of owners Hop Back Brewery said: "They are exceptionally keen to maintain quiz night, skittles teams, the excellent wines and spirits that Ian and Sarah have built up and add their own mark to the pub."
