A COLLEGE is opening its doors to youngsters but it is not expecting them to get their books out and study.
East Durham and Houghall Community College wants its young visitors to have fun when it holds a play day on Wednesday for four to 16-year-olds.
Attractions will include fancy dress and banner parades, bouncy castles, a bungee run, an agility trail, five-a-side soccer competition, a falconry display and other displays.
The event is being held to mark National Play Day, which aims to promote the value of play to children's development.
College principal Ian Prescott said: "The college continues to support community projects and is totally committed to its community role.
"Play days like this help to raise awareness of lifelong learning for all."
The fun will be from noon to 4pm at the college's Houghall site on the outskirts of Durham city.
