CHILDREN are invited to design T-shirts inspired by Durham’s picturesque riverbanks this weekend (Saturday, April 26).

Durham Cathedral bosses hope walkers will be inspired for a 30-minute guided excursion around its woodlands and riverbanks.

Afterwards, a T-shirt designing session will be held.

Gina Davies, from the cathedral, said: “We want to encourage families to come and use this area for relaxation and exercise and Spring is a really beautiful time to start.

“We will be pointing out the various flowers, plants and wildlife to the children to inspire them ahead of their T-shirt designing session. So it’s a bit of fun but educational as well.”

Saturday’s event starts at 10.30am and is suitable for children aged five and up. The cost is £1 per child. Book a place by calling 0191-374-4078, specifying the child’s T-shirt size.
