A FRENCH market has returned to Dalton Park, Murton, east Durham.

Visitors can sample French cheeses, chacuterie, hams, olives, garlic and onions. Clothes and lingerie will be among the other items for sale at more than 25 stalls.

Dalton Park marketing manager Heather Scott said: "The French market has proved very popular with our customers. We're also pleased to invite local schools to come along and try out their language skills in a friendly, fun environment."

The market, which opened yesterday, is open at Dalton Park, off the B1285 junction with the A19, until Sunday.
