A PUB near Tadcaster has launched a competition for local children ahead of party on June 27 to mark seven years of trading.

To mark the opening of a £350,000 extension to the Ye Old Sun Inn, in Colton, children are being invited to submit sun-related artwork for the chance to win a dinner for four and £40 of high street gift vouchers.

Chef and owner of Ye Old Sun Inn Ashley McCarthy will also visit the winner’s school to give a cooking demonstration.
