The stage is set for a summer of entertainment in Darlington. The Summer Stage is in the market during school holidays along with a pop-up park area that is complete with deckchairs and grass flooring, to provide entertainment for the lineup of events planned.
The Summer Stage which has been installed in time for the week-long Darlington by the Sea event is being sponsored by YouFibre. This beach-themed event will take place from Monday, 24th July to Friday, 28th July. Families can enjoy free sandcastle building in a giant sandpit in the market square, balloon modelling, face painting, and lots more fun and games. https://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/news/23672238.stage-set-darlington-summer-entertainment/
