VOLUNTEERS are needed to help with an annual carnival at Darlington Railway Centre and Museum.

Themed on the 1940s, the event takes place on Saturday, September 8, and Sunday, September 9.

For children, there will be games, activities and entertainment, while, for adults, there is an opportunity to look around the museum and see what goes on throughout the year.

Museum staff are also still appealing for help from the public to loan items from the 1940s to help with displays and the filling of a house with items from the decade.

Anyone who would like to help can contact volunteer Olive Howe, or heritage manager Dr Stuart Nichols, on (01325) 460532.
