WEDDING dresses from the last 70 years will be on display at a charity exhibition this weekend.

The treasured gowns are being dusted down and exhibited at Tudhoe Community Centre, near Spennymoor, on Sunday.

The event has been organised by Tudhoe couple, Peter and Anne Campbell, after they were inspired by a similar event at Harperley Prisoner of War Camp.

The dresses will span every decade from the 1940s to now and will be accompanied by a display of wartime wedding memories and photographs.

Admission to the exhibition, from 11am to 4pm, is free but a donation of £2 is suggested for Children In Need.
