A North-East museum has released details of its autumn programme of events.

The Bowes Museum, Barnard Castle, County Durham, has produced a packed diary of events that complement exhibitions at the venue.

On Tuesday, the curator of the Wedding Belles exhibition, Joanna Hashagen, will give introductory talks on the wedding costume collection.

Glass artists will give free engraving demonstrations on October 11 and, as part of the William Morris and the Arts and Crafts Movement in the North-East, exhibition visitors can learn how to make rush seating on October 16 and 17.

Other highlights include jazz evenings, family fun days, interactive tours, Christmas craft fairs and embroidery and corset-making workshops.
