YOUNGSTERS can try their hand at street art this week.

Durham Wildlife Trust is holding a pavement drawing event at its Rainton Meadows Visitor Centre on Saturday from 1pm until 3.30pm.

Admission is £1 and there will be prizes for the best pieces, for age categories from four to 18.

The theme will be forests and woods.

Proceeds will be split between the trust and a charity for children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

Coloured photographs of all first prize drawings will be entered in a national competition. For further details, contact 0191-548 3112.
