STUDENTS were given a taste of Spanish culture when a team of flamenco dancers visited their school.

London-based group Prensa O Palique gave pupils at Bishop Barrington School, in Bishop Auckland, a few tips during their visit on Thursday.

The group are in the area as part of the Bishop Auckland Music Festival, which ends tomorrow.

The head of music at Bishop Barrington, Lisa Richardson, said: "Everybody loved it. They were able to learn about the Spanish culture and the history of flamenco music. It was definitely a worthwhile experience."
