CRAFTS people from all over the region will be setting up stall in East Durham next month in aid of charity.

The Mayor of Peterlee's annual Charity Craft Fair will be held in Shotton Hall banqueting suite, Old Shotton, on Sunday, April 8.

The event, which has already attracted interest from a wide area, will be open from 11am to 4pm. Admission will cost 20p for adults and 10p for children.

It will provide a chance to buy Easter gifts that are less fattening than chocolate eggs.

Applications are still coming from local craftspeople wishing to sell their goods, and organisers have warned there is a limited number of stalls available.

Anyone interested in hiring a stall should contact Peterlee Tourist Information Centre on 0191-586 4450.
