Story-teller Chris Bostock will be spinning some of his yarns for children and grown-ups on the Bellingham Heritage Centre stand at Saturday’s Bellingham Show. Chris is a professional story-teller and theatre worker who tells tales from many cultures. He will be in the Heritage Centre’s Story-telling tent from 10.30 to 3.30. Story sessions will last 30 minutes with 15-minute intervals between sessions. The story-telling is free to children and adults.
Aycliffe and District Bus Preservation Society, at the request of the Heritage Centre, is arranging a shuttle bus service, using vintage buses, from the Heritage Centre to and from the Show-grounds. A similar service was a huge success last year. Information about the schedule will be available later from the Heritage Centre website, www.bellingham-heritage.org.uk, or from the Tourist Information Centre on (01434) 220 616.
Terry Bragg, Chairman of the Heritage Centre at Bellingham said: “This is a great opportunity for people to get to and from the Show without having to worry about parking. Some people will remember the old style buses and so it could also be a trip down memory lane for them. We are delighted with the co-operation we have received for this scheme”.
The late great poet Philip Larkin probably did not travel to the Bellingham Show by bus but his visit to the 1973 Show was the inspiration for his poem Show Saturday.
