A Guisborough leisure centre is setting up summer fun to banish boredom over the holidays.

A programme for five to 13-year-olds is aimed at keeping youngsters busy.

Those taking part in Pursglove leisure centre activities, which starts on Monday, will be kept occupied with trips, sports, drama days, picnics, a summer party, disco dance and much more.

One highlight will be a Changing Rooms project which will involve boys and girls using recycled materials to transform a playroom into a circus.

Also lined up is a themed Egyptian morning, a mini-Olympics and a treasure hunt in Guisborough Priory.

Centre manager, Hilary Day, said: "There has been such a lot in the media recently about concerns that youngsters are couch potatoes. But anyone who joins us will be kept on their toes and have a lot of fun."
