AN afternoon of entertainment is planned for the weekend to raise money for playground equipment at a primary school.
The event takes place at Nevilles Cross Primary School, in Durham City, from 1pm to 4pm on Saturday.
Money raised during the day, which has been organised by the school's parent teacher association (PTA), will be used to buy equipment such as play huts, wooden trains and picnic tables to give the children more variety at playtime.
Admission is 25p, and there will be a brass band, bouncy castle, raffle, tombola, birds of prey and refreshments.
Stephenie Coulthard, PTA chairwoman, said: "We are always looking for ways to improve our children's school life, not just in the classroom, but socially as well.
"An event such as this will not only help us raise the money needed, but it is important to our community as it allows residents and parents to get together in a fun environment."
