THERE will be fun in the forest at Chopwell Forest Festival at the weekend.

County Durham environmentalists charity the Acorn Trust has announced its own events at the festival.

Visitors to the Acorn Trust marquee will have the chance to build a bird box, join in a beetle drive and take part in an animal quiz.

Trust project manager Kath Ivens said: "Once more we are delighted to attend this festival and show what can be done in people's own area."
