A Barnard Castle restaurant is hoping to raise funds for the town's annual meet.

The Spice Island Indian restaurant will host a Bollywood-themed evening on Monday.

Music will be provided by a dhol player, with henna tattoos on offer, as well as a traditional shisha pipe and sample Indian cuisine.

All proceeds from the night will go towards the Barnard Castle Meet, which was threatened with cancellation when several thousand pounds worth of funds went missing.

A man has been arrested over the missing money.

Tickets for the event, which starts at 6pm, are £25. For more information, call (01833) 630575.
