A SCHOOL in Stanley is hosting a major wrestling event next month.

Superstars of LDN Wrestling are set to rumble through North Durham Academy as part of their nationwide tour on Saturday, November 8.

The event features some of the country's top grapplers, including LDN British Champion Alan Lee Travis and the mysterious Dark Lord.

Alan Lee Travis, 28, head coach at LDN's training schools and one of the hottest British wrestling prospects in years, said: “It's always an honour to defend the LDN title in front of our great fans.

“I'm looking forward to getting to Stanley and giving them a match to remember.”

The event will include hard-hitting bouts including high-flying Zak Knight, rugged brawler JD Knight, the international Dark Lord, as well as a very special guest appearance by British wrestling legend Dave Walker.

The show starts at 5pm and will run for around two hours, with the opportunity for a meet and greet with the wrestlers after the show.

Tickets, costing £12 for adults, £10 for children, or £40 for a family of four, can be booked on 01207-291152.
