I WOULD like to add my support to the views expressed by Nick Brewster regarding Darlington Arts Centre (HAS, Jan 24).
I make regular visits to what I consider to be the two jewels in the crown of Darlington, namely the Civic Theatre, which is the equal of any theatre in the country, and the Arts Centre.
The Arts Centre is in a beautiful old building, full of character, and a wonderful friendly atmosphere.
I visit for art exhibitions, blues and jazz concerts, films, the twice yearly real ale festival, as well as the cafe and bars and that is only part of what is on offer.
In my experience such a thriving and diverse arts centre is unique to Darlington. Even Durham City, one of the most cultural places in the country, has nothing to compare.
