THE Cobweb Orchestra is holding an open day at the Witham Hall, Barnard Castle, on Saturday, April 27 and is inviting those who would like to play music in a group to go along and give it a try.

The orchestra covers activities ranging from full orchestra and choral singing to small groups of instruments.

Activities will be led by Andy Jackson, who said: "It doesn't matter what instrument you play or what standard you're at, or if you haven't played for years. Come along and enjoy yourselves."

Anyone who does not have an instrument, but would like to take part, can call Mr Jackson on (01388) 602436. For application forms, call (01833) 631107. The session runs from 11am to 3pm and costs £3.
