A FEAST of summer fun is to take place for all the family at a countryside attraction in Hartlepool over the next few weeks.

Summerhill, on the town's Catcote Road, is hosting a wide range of events and activities this month and next.

Events include a watercolour taster session for people aged 14 and over on Sunday, and this will be followed by a three-week course on July 21 and 28 and August 4.

There is also a chance to try out the trim trail, a 2km route around the site incorporating pieces of keep-fit equipment, on Wednesday, July 24.

A number of free events, mostly on an archeological or historical theme, will also be taking place.

Leaflets detailing activities that are taking place are available from Summerhill, and the Tourist Information Centre in the town's Church Square.
