PARENTS are being invited to take their children along to a fun day in Darlington over half-term.

Darlington Borough Council's countryside team will be staging the Cockerbeck Capers event on Thursday, from 2pm to 4pm, and will be providing environment-themed activities for children and parents.

Youngsters aged up to 12, accompanied by adults, will be able to enjoy a variety of games and crafts.

Anyone interested should meet at the small car park in Staindrop Road, opposite Edgecombe Drive. Events take place outdoors, so suitable clothing should be worn.

For more information, contact the team on (01325) 388648.
