A SERIES of events celebrating the heritage of the Loftus area takes place next weekend.

The events, on Saturday and Sunday, October 13 and 14, centre around Loftus Town Hall and will include displays of photographs, old documents and other interesting facts and features.

All the items will recall the history of Loftus and its surrounding areas - from Easington to Liverton, Scaling to Skinningrove and Carlin How to Cowbar.

The event has been organised by Loftus Town Council. Anyone who would like to contribute items of memorabilia is being asked to bring the items along.

Admission is free. For more information call Margaret Turner on (01287) 641000.
