Free play sessions for children

Parents of restless children are being offered some help and respite during the TT fortnight.

The Isle of Man Children's Centre is running a two hour play service at various locations across the island.

The sessions, which are free of charge, will cater for children aged between five and 11 on half term holidays.

Development manager Rebecca McCauley said: "They can expect two hours of absolute fun - and a little bit of mayhem and chaos as well."

Three play workers from the centre will tour the island in a transit van filled with basic play equipment and "lots of enthusiasm", Mrs McCauley added.

"Over TT we hope to have a few water-based games the children can play because obviously we are all hoping for some great weather.

"It's just a great opportunity for them to run around and let off a bit of steam and enjoy some good, old-fashioned play in the fresh air."

Half term holidays on the Isle of Man take place between 29 May and 6 June.
