A CELEBRATION of cultures from around the world took place in Darlington town centre at the weekend.
The Darlington and Durham County Racial Equality Council held its third annual Diversity Day at the town's Dolphin Centre on Saturday.
The event featured musicians, dancers and food from around the world.
There were also a number of workshops, so that visitors could learn about the background to the cultures which make up the population of Darlington.
A spokesman said: "The theme of the day was 'edutainment' - to entertain and educate the whole community of the different cultures within Darlington and the surrounding areas, illustrating the different costumes, rituals and delicacies that are on offer."
The event was free and included displays on Africa, India, China and the Caribbean.
