PEOPLE in Bishop Auckland will become stars for an evening in aid of a children's hospice.

Tindale Crescent Workingmen's Club hosts a Stars in Their Eyes event this evening, and fundraisers will be transformed into well-known singers.

Money raised from the event will go towards Zoe's Place in Normanby, Teesside, which cares for terminally ill children.

The stars will include Peter Kay and Mr Blobby performing Tony Christie's (Is This The Way To) Amarillo.

Organiser Sandra Whittaker said: "They have all worked very hard and have all got sponsorship. I expect that they will raise an awful lot of money."

A raffle and auction will also be held, with prizes including a cake and holiday vouchers.

Ms Whittaker also thanked Brotherton's music store, in Newgate Street, for the loan of equipment in the show.

The event begins at 7pm and tickets, which are £2, can be bought on the door.
