A SHOPPING centre will host a carnival-themed fun day to conclude a month of family events.

To mark the final instalment in Durham’s Prince Bishops shopping centre’s Summer Sundays programme, a carnival is being planned.

Inspired by London’s Notting Hill carnival, dancers, street entertainers and a steel drum band will perform at the city centre shopping venue on Sunday, August 29, from 11.30am to 4.30pm. Admission is free.

Richard Toynbee, manager of the Prince Bishops shopping centre, said: "The Summer Sundays in Prince Bishops this month have been an outstanding success and we hope that our carnival will end it on an even bigger high.

"With the fantastic carnival-themed entertainment happening in the centre, it is a great opportunity for the family to come to Durham for a fun day out this Bank Holiday Sunday."

The Summer Sundays programme has also included Harry Potter, teddy bear and Doctor Who-themed events. For more information, visit princebishops.co.uk
