FREE Festive Family Fun is on offer the at the Community Garden, off Durham Road, Ushaw Moor, near Durham.

A Santa’s Grotto will appeal to younger visitors, with various Christmas craft workshops, including a Christmas card class, bauble decorating and wreath making.

All those attending can then help to decorate and light the site’s community Christmas tree.
