GROWN-UPS and children are invited to a free weekend of pond dipping in Philips Park.

Paul Robinson, Bury Council's local nature reserves officer, will lead activities on June 26 and 27 to discover what wildlife lurks under the surface of the ponds.

Admission is free and all equipment is provided, but places are limited to 12 children (plus family members) each day. To avoid disappointment, book early by phoning Paul on 0161 253 5269.
