AN ADDINGHAM pub is in the running for a coveted accolade.

The Fleece is among the finalists in the Yorkshire's Favourite Pub competition.

It is one of 18 shortlisted from nearly 800 would-be contenders nominated by the public.

Now people are being invited to vote for their winner, at yorkshire.com/pub.

Spearheading the contest is Welcome to Yorkshire.

Chief executive Sir Gary Verity said: "We've had a huge response to our competition and good luck to all the finalists.

"To make it to the final when the public has nominated almost 800 pubs is a huge achievement.

"I look forward to finding out who the public votes to be the winner of this coveted title."

Voting is open until June 25 and the winner will be revealed during a special presentation at the Great Yorkshire Show on July 10.
