A Redcar museum is asking for help to celebrate its birthday.

Kirkleatham Old Hall Museum at Redcar is 20-years-old next year and as part of the celebrations five banners will be displayed in the entrance hall.

The banners will show Redcar and Cleveland landmarks and the work carried out by the Museums Service.

Museum staff are urging visitors to help make the birthday celebrations extra special by attending a banner painting workshop at the museum any Sunday afternoon in November.

Admission to the activity is free but children must be accompanied by an adult. For further information call (01642) 479500
