ORGANISERS are hoping more than 1,000 people will help celebrate the heritage of a North-East town next weekend.

Last year, a record number of people attended the Guisborough Heritage Day, in east Cleveland, and it is hoped that success can be emulated on Saturday, when venues throughout the town open to visitors, from 10am to 4pm.

Events include a guided walk around the town, displays in the priory, and displays and activities by local groups in Sunnyfield House.

There will also be displays at Guisborough Museum and Prior Pursglove College.

Other venues with displays and activities include St Nicholas' Church, Zetland Masonic Hall, Guisborough United Reformed Church and Guisborough Library. A fairground organ will play outside the Methodist Church.

A free programme detailing the day's events will be available from Sunnyfield House and Gisborough Priory on the day.
