Summer and sunnier days have only just begun, and there is nothing better than popping along to events in the heart of the town centre.

There are dozens of events taking place around Darlington town centre this summer, with everything from cycling, the armed forces and pride being on the calendar.

The events have all been organised by Darlington Borough Council and there is plenty to choose from in the summer holidays for families to take part in.
