A FATHER and son duo are preparing to take part in a darts marathon to raise funds.

Chris and David Marsh, of the Millhouse Green Male Voice Choir, will be hosting the unusual fundraising event on Sunday February 2 to raise money for a visit to an upcoming arts festival.

Supporters can cheer on the dart fanatics, or take part in a nine-dart challenge on the second board for a £2 entrance fee – half the money raised will go to the winner, while the other goes to the choir.

Money raised from the fundraising event at the Millhouse Institute will help the choir head to the Eskdale Festival of the Arts in Whitby in March.
