VE Day celebrations will be marked with a series of events in Darlington this summer.

This year, the town's annual summer market will have a theme of VE Celebrations and the 1940s Experience.

The event will run from Thursday, August 13 until Sunday, August 16 and will feature a series of events.

Children can enjoy VE-themed workshops, a climbing wall and Punch and Judy shows while adults can visit a vintage car display and street entertainment.

On Friday, August 14, a 1940s DJ will host a dance event featuring members of Age UK Darlington's veterans group, choir and ukulele orchestra.

Crowds can enjoy live music courtesy of The Hotsie Totsies and the Cockerton Brass Band while the National Town Crier Competition will provide a soundtrack of a more unusual kind.
