A THEATRE company will be taking its audience on a magical trip along the rivers of County Durham this weekend.

Jack Drum Arts will be performing their outdoor show Two Thousand Feet, in Hamsterley Forest, on Sunday.

The show celebrates the rivers of County Durham - the Tees, the Wear and the Derwent - using songs, music and giant puppets to trace the history of the rivers from their sources, 2,000ft up in the Pennines.

Jill Cole, of Jack Drum Arts, said: "Hopefully, we can draw a large crowd to the event, because it promises to be a wonderful show, and a fantastic and magical way to trace the history of the county's rivers."

The 40-minute show will begin at 2pm on Sunday. Entry to Hamsterley Forest costs £2 per vehicle.

Visitors are asked to park in the main car park and walk to the Oaktree picnic area, where the show will be performed.
