A WIDE range of activities will be on offer for families across the borough during the half term holiday.

Craft workshops, sports courses and even a farm tour have been organised by Redbridge Council in an effort to keep children occupied during the week-long break.

The programme - which kicks off on Monday - will also include a number of Halloween-themed events held at various venues, including face painting and story telling.

'Spookfest' will also be held in Claybury Woods on October 31 – featuring a ghost walk through the woods.

Theatre-lovers can attend the 'Alan in Wonderland' stageshow at Wanstead House community centre in The Green on Thursday.

More sporty families can take advantage of the brand new all-weather games courts at Wanstead Leisure Centre, golf tuition at Fairlop Waters, and athletics and tennis coaching in Ilford.

A council spokeswoman said: "There is also no shortage of great parks and open spaces for families to visit.

"Many of these have sports courts, trim trails, cycle circuits, skate parks, a gym in South Park and newly created natural play areas providing children with plenty of opportunities to let off steam.

"The popular Redbridge Cycling Centre in Hainault also runs holiday courses for children."
