A WELSH folk story will be told on stage in Bishop Auckland next week.

Llyn y Fan, The Lady of the Lake, is a tale of love and loss that has been turned into a full-length ballet by Independent Ballet Wales.

The performance at Bishop Auckland Town Hall next Friday, at 7.30pm, has been choreographed by Darius James, the company's artistic director, and costumes made by Welsh designer Yvonne Greenleaf.

Tickets are available from the town hall box office on (01388) 602610.
