A MILLENNIUM National Lottery grant has helped villagers put on a show about the history of Sadberge, near Darlington.

With the help of the grant, children and adults from the village will perform But History Is So Boring, at Sadberge Village Hall on Friday and Saturday.

The people of the village have been able to hire a writer, Ian Rutland, and make additions and repairs to the stage with the money, including new curtains.

Entry to the shows, which start at 7.30pm on both nights, costs £3 for adults and £2 for concessions
