INSECT enthusiasts are being invited to an event to study creepy-crawlies this weekend.
Derwentside District Council's leisure services has organised Bugs Alive, at Blackhill and Consett Park, on Sunday. The event is linked to National Insect Week.
Visitors, under the guidance of the park officers, will be able to examine the many insects that live in the park, or test their knowledge on the insect trail quiz.
There will be artist-led workshops to show people how to create their own insect. In addition, a brass band will perform and there will be children's rides.
The event runs from 12.30pm to 4.30pm and admission is free, with a small charge applying for children's rides.
For more information, contact heritage park development officer Maria McArdle on (01207) 218019.
