A series of weekly sessions for young people interested in photography and new media is to be launched in Darlington.

The Young Media Makers' sessions, at Darlington Arts Centre, Vane Terrace, will start after the Easter holidays for children and teenagers.

It has been developed by the Darlington Media group and aims to encourage young people interested in using creative technologies.

The workshops will give them the opportunity to develop their creative and technical skills outside of the classroom.

They will be open to everyone aged eight to 16, and start on Wednesday, April 24, from 4.30pm to 6.30pm.

Each session will cost £2.50.
