Pop up art day ready to fill the streets of village in a celebration of community

A former colliery village is to be taken over by secret arts project inspired by everyday life and local older people.

On Tuesday, Sunderland Road in Horden will be transformed in the middle of the night by a pop up arts event for one day only.

Residents will wake to find the street filled with a series of unique art installations.
