Children in Ryedale aged between five and twelve are invited to sign up to the Summer Festival of Fun 2009, taking place at venues across Ryedale this summer between Monday, July 27 and Friday, August 21.

York Playspace, in partnership with Ryedale District Council, have put together a programme of daily activities including arts & crafts, sports and other games to keep kids of all abilities entertained in the summer holidays.

Each daily session runs from 10am to 4pm, and children are expected to bring a packed lunch.

The scheme costs £10 per day for the first child, and £9 per day for each subsequent sibling.

Early booking discounts are available if you book before July 22.
