A DARLINGTON playgroup celebrated its 40th birthday in style with a visit from Peppa Pig and Bob the Builder.
A party was held at Holy Trinity Youth Centre, in Pierremont Road to celebrate the 40th birthday of Pierremont Playgroup.
Around a dozen of the playgroup’s 22 youngsters attended the party and each child took home a commemorative teddy.
Sue Tinkler, leader of the volunteer run playgroup, said: “We all had an excellent morning, everyone really enjoyed themselves.
“I have been involved with the playgroup for around 30 years. I took my children there and they are now 33 and 30.
“We are all volunteers and do it for the love of it. We all get on really well, all my staff are brilliant.”
The playgroup also held an open day to help celebrate its milestone anniversary.
The group runs from 9.30am to 11.30am Monday to Thursday.
