FATHERS are invited to take their sons and daughters to an activity day, at the DLI Museum and Durham Art Gallery, in Durham, on Saturday February 19, from 10am - 3pm.

The DLI Dads event offers children a chance to dress as a soldier, view a field recovery unit display, and take part in other military-themed activities.

There will also be special stalls and other information about ‘military dads’ down the centuries, with a backing of band music.

Admission to outdoor activities and the site cafe at the Aykley Heads site are free, although usual admission costs apply for the museum.
