DARLINGTON Farmers' Market, which had been due to be held in the town centre on Friday (April 19), has been cancelled, because many of the regular traders are supporting the Bishop Auckland food festival being held this weekend.

LADYBIRD FUN: Crown Street library, in Darlington, will host two free ladybird-themed events for youngsters aged two to five, on Friday (April 19), between 10am and 2pm.
