ARTS and crafts will be displayed at a summer fair weekend at Greta Bridge, near Barnard Castle, later this month.

Thorpe Farm Peel House will host the event on June 22 and 23, from 10am to 5.30pm. Half of the £1 entrance fee will be donated to the Sick Children's Trust at Newcastle's Royal Victoria Infirmary.

There will be face-painting, a bouncy castle, an adventure playground, quad biking, four-wheel-drive off-roading and clay pigeon shooting. There will also be a chance to try out archery for beginners on the Sunday.

Local artists showing off their talents include china decorator Sheila Gardner, from Weardale, woodcarver Jeff Race, from Crook, and Judy Occamore, of Barnard Castle, with her photographs, cards and calendars.

Tasting sessions have been arranged by regional suppliers, such as Bainbridge cakes, of Eggleston, Broom Mill Bacon, and Daleside Brewery.
