A HOLIDAY scheme entertained more than 3,000 youngsters with activities including team games, circus demonstrations and dance lessons.

Gravesham Council's Play in the Park scheme organised events at 12 sites across the borough throughout the summer.

The scheme aims to encourage children to visit parks and take part in physical activity.

Children could enjoy a day of games, circus skills demonstrations, dance and healthy eating workshops all held outdoors, unless it is raining.

This is the fifth time the free scheme, which is held during the summer, has been organised.

It is available to children aged up to 11, although older children may be considered.
