A NORTH-East theme park has celebrated 10 years since its parent company opened its first attraction.

Special guests included Councillor Mamie Simmons, the Mayor of Durham, and Coun Dennis Morgan, deputy chairman of Durham County Council.
Park manager Mark Robson said: "Everyone has had fun celebrating our 10-year anniversary.
"The weather was lovely and everyone got stuck in on all the rides and drives, and had a whale of a time."
The event took place on Saturday, July 3.
