A GROUP of professional story tellers will be enchanting visitors to a woodland park tonight, with a tale of war, magic and terror.

London group Word of Mouth will use masks, movement and the spoken word to tell the tale of Cucullon the War Machine - based on an Irish legend - at Cowpen Bewley Woodland Park, near Billingham.

The event starts at 6pm, in the park's activity centre.

Tickets are £2. To book a place, contact Martin Nunn on (01642) 415225.
