A WELL-known pub in the Yorkshire Dales has added another string to its bow - after winning the right to host weddings.

The Black Bull, in Reeth, has become the latest site in the county to be licensed to hold civil marriage ceremonies.

It means North Yorkshire now offers a wide range of alternative options for weddings, including theatres, conference halls and several castles.

They will be able to benefit from the county council's marketing programme, including full colour brochures, attendance at exhibitions and a website.
