A RAVE for teenagers is to be held at the Dolphin Centre, in Darlington.

The Next Generation Music Gig is back for its summer session with special guest disc jockey Smurf, on Friday, from 7.30pm to 10.30pm.

He is back by popular demand and will be master of ceremonies for the three-hour rave, which is exclusively for under-18s.

The event has been organised by Darlington Borough Council's Leisure and Arts team, with help from the Police, Connexions and Darlington's Community Safety Partnership and Youth Service.

Entrance to the event will be by ticket-only, with a strict age limit of 13 to 17.

Tickets are on sale at the Dolphin Centre at £2 each, or they can be bought by telephone using a credit or debit card.

The closing date for ticket sales is Friday, at noon.

There will be a voluntary search at the door. A no-alcohol and no-smoking policy will also be operating.
