NURSERY children delighted a packed audience when they took to the stage for a performance of One Snowy Night.

The play was staged in the Red Room at Catterick Childcare Centre, part of Darlington College's Catterick campus.

Youngsters told the tale of Percy the park keeper, who shared his warm hut with woodland animals on a cold winter's night.

Deputy officer in charge of the centre Gerry Chapman said: "The children were amazing, if a little overawed by the occasion. They are used to rehearsing to an empty room.

"I would like to thank all the parents who helped to make the fantastic costumes and to the staff at the Red Room for helping to make the Christmas concert possible."
