STUCK for something do this weekend, let us help.

Ps in a Pod, exhibition at Bishop Auckland Town Hall, from Saturday

Ps in a Pod are sculptures by artist Louise Plant.

Three cast iron Ps are coming to the Market Place in Bishop Auckland on a tour of County Durham. Like human beings Ps have a sense of adventure and fun.

Appearing generally similar, each P is unique in form and differs slightly to all others – just like people. 

The Gallery will be exhibiting related drawings and prints as well as marble, bronze and glass Ps and a film of the making of the cast iron Ps for Durham.

  • Runs until April. Tel. 03000-269524.
