THREE Durham villages are joining forces to provide entertainment for their communities at a two-day carnival.

The Wingate, Station Town and Hutton Henry Partnership is organising the 3Village Carnival, on Saturday and Sunday, June 24 and 25.

The first day will be devoted to family sports, at Station Town Community Centre and surrounding area.

The Sunday events will begin with a family cycle ride followed by demonstrations and workshops in junk music, visual arts, juggling, karate, gymnastics and line dancing.

There will be entertainment and displays by balloon modellers, Irish dancers, magicians and an airbrush tattoo artist. A 1940s re-enactment group, military vehicles and side shows round out the day.
