BELLY dancing and blood pressure tests will be offered to Darlington residents next week at a free health event.

The event, at the Dolphin Centre on Wednesday, will give people the chance to receive advice about staying healthy and getting fit.

Alongside belly dancing, there will be an opportunity to try salsa dancing, get free gym induction vouchers, and take a tour around the new facilities at the Dolphin Centre.

There will be free blood pressure tests, advice and help to stop smoking, and the chance to pick up some healthy recipes.

Visitors will also be given the chance to sign up for future support to help them stay on the road to good health.

Darlington's Community Partnerships have arranged the event alongside Darlington Primary Care Trust and Age Concern.

The event will run from 2pm to 7.30pm.

Details are available by calling 01325-388457.
