VISITORS to a railway museum will be in a festive mood as they browse for presents at a Christmas crafts and gift fair.

The fair is to be held next month at Locomotion: The National Railway Museum at Shildon.

There will be a selection of stalls at the event including jewellery, glassware, photography, handmade cards, fabrics, quilting and beauty gifts.

The Christmas crafts and gift fair runs on Saturday and Sunday, November 24 and 25 and for a small charge visitors can enjoy a steam train ride.

Darlington Community Wind Band will perform Christmas music over the weekend at the museum.

Visitors to the museum will also be able to see the collection of more than 70 historic vehicles.

The craft and gifts fair takes place between 10am and 4pm with free entry and parking.
