CHILDREN in Rossendale are being encouraged to get active during the Easter holiday with the borough's schools and sports centres offering a range of activities.

Children from five to 13 can get involved in a variety of activities this week and next week.

Bacup Leisure Hall and Haslingden Sports Centre will be used during both weeks for multi-activities.

Haslingden Sports Centre will also be running a football camp for both weeks. Bacup and Rawtenstall Grammar School is hosting a basketball camp this week.

And during the second week keen batsmen and bowlers can go to Haslingden High School to take part in a cricket camp.
