Youngsters from across Castle Point have been making the most of the Easter break with help from the borough council.

Children from three to 14 have been able to take advantage of the fun-filled playschemes being held at two sites in the area, with games, competitions, treasure hunts and much more.

But don't worry if you have a restless son or daughter who wants to join in the fun and games, the playschemes will be running for a second period from April 6 to 9.

For more information call Natalie Blyde at Castle Point Council on 01268 882200 or contact Waterside Farm sports centre, Canvey or Runnymede pool, Thundersley.
