Eleven Arches 'as spectacular as Olympic ceremony'

Work has begun on an attraction in County Durham which organisers claim will be as spectacular as an Olympic opening ceremony.

Eleven Arches, which will comprise of 30 open-air shows based on a similar project in France, will take place next summer in fields below Bishop Auckland.

The £29m scheme is expected to create more than 500 local jobs.

Director Damien Boissinot and Claire Buyers from Eleven Arches give a hint of what is to come.
