A Durham City venue will come alive with the sounds of brass music this weekend.
The Story, our culture, heritage and registration venue, will host the Durham County Brass Band Association's competition this Sunday (17 May) from 10am until 5pm.
In its 80th year, the competition sees 11 of the region's brass bands competing, with a winning band announced at the end of the day.

In addition to The Story café being open, street food catering vans will be on site throughout the day and there'll be a range of family-friendly activities for younger audiences.
Face painting will be on offer between 11am and 3pm, and a visit to the venue's Search and Discover area will offer children a chance to create their own badge and banner.
Free parking for the event is available at Howlands Park and Ride, a five-minute walk to The Story.
