The Par Inn has been shortlisted as one of five pubs across the UK to be in with a chance of being named Prostate Cancer UK’s ‘favourite local’.

Following the launch last year of pop-up pub fundraiser, the Men United Arms, Prostate Cancer UK called on landlords this September to throw open their doors and host a fund-raising night in order to help save men’s lives.

Landlord Matt Bailey raised £4,120 by hosting a barbecue, two auctions, a raffle, card games, charging for bar food, donations for lifts and general donations on the bar.

As one of the highest fund-raisers, the pub will now receive free PR and social media support, before being judged by a panel of experts who will name the winner in November.
