LEISURE centres in Hambleton are hosting Easter activities for youngsters.

Leisure centres and swimming pools in Thirsk, Northallerton, Stokesley, and Bedale are holding activity sessions for children with lots of energy.

The popular Scrap Heap Challenge is returning, along with other arts and crafts sessions, high-energy trampolining, short tennis and football.

For people wanting something new there is a Latino Pop Stars session with a professional Salsa dance coach at Hambleton Leisure Centre.

Places on courses are limited, so booking early is advised. For a detailed list of events visit the council's web site at www. hambleton.gov.uk and there are links to the leisure centres.

Reduced opening hours will be operating over the Easter weekend.
