RIBBLE Valley youngsters have been making the most of half term at the Roefield Leisure Centre.

More than 25 children, aged between eight and 13, have been trying out lots of different sports, arts and crafts at the centre's school holiday play scheme.

The centre has been open from 9am until 5pm for activities and sports including badminton tournaments, ju-jitsu training, athletics and penalty shoot-outs.

Leisure centre assistant manager Kirsty Hamer said that the activities have gone down well and the youngsters have had great fun.
