A DOG show and duck race are among the Easter activities being held in a Weardale village throughout the weekend.

The recently-reopened Rookhope Inn, in Rookhope, which is the base for the St Aidan's Community Trust, will host most of the events.

From 2pm today there will be a fun dog show, tug o'war, a giant Jenga game, a bouncy castle and an open air rock band.

On Sunday a family walk will start at 10am and from 2pm there will be egg and Easter bonnet contests, a marathon bike ride and an Easter egg raffle.

The Happy Cats, featuring former Lindisfarne member Marty Craggs, will be in the village hall on Sunday.

On Monday, a duck race will start from the Burnside House bridge, at 2pm, and there will be a live band and bouncy castle at the Rookhope Inn.
