A BIRD charity is organising a fun-packed day during the next school half-term holiday.

The RSPB event is aimed at children aged six to ten, and their parents, who would like to find out more about the birds and other wildlife.

Professional puppeteer Emma Boor, from Durham-based Wild Boor Ideas, will be running a puppet-making workshop on Wednesday, June 1, from 10am to 4pm in the village hall at Edmundbyers, near Consett.

Places for the workshop are limited and advance booking is essential.
