YOUNGSTERS in Darwen will be kept amused during a 'Fun In The Sun' activity week in Sunnyhurst Wood.

The free wildlife playscheme will cater for children aged six to 12 and runs from Monday to Thursday next week.

It has been organised by the Wildlife Trust for Lancashire in conjunction with the Friends of Sunnyhurst Wood.

Activities will include collages, parachute games, workshops with the Lancashire Badger Group, woodland activity sessions, as well as arts and crafts.

Morning and afternoon sessions will be available but all children must be accompanied by an adult at all times.

The scheme is being funded by the Local Network Fund.
