TAI chi enthusiasts from across the country will take part in a workshop in Sedgefield at the weekend.

The workshop, hosted by the Northern School of TaijiQuan (Tai Chi Chuan), has attracted students from Scotland, Cumbria and Derbyshire.

The County Durham branch runs regular classes in the Sedgefield area and was set up by Joe Harte 18 months ago.

The workshops will be held in the Scout Hall in West End, opposite the Nag's Head pub, from 11am to 5pm on Saturday and 9.30am to 3.30pm on Sunday.

They are intended for people who have some experience of tai chi, but beginners are welcome to attend and watch.
