ARTISTS from across the borough have been invited to feature in the Darlington Arts Festival.

The event’s organisers, Darlington for Culture (DfC), is calling for any groups, venues or performers to showcase themselves.

The festival is already set to feature across multiple venues in the town and is looking for further venues to add to its ranks.

The event is in the planning phase and organisers are calling for artists and performers to flesh out the events it wishes to put on.

Current plans include a month long literary festival with live readings, multiple art events featuring a wide variety of artists and a series of music events with details to be announced.
