Children enjoyed an Easter-themed afternoon of fun activities at Maldon Town Hall on Saturday.

Carnival organisers arranged painting, colouring, designing, modelling, carnival games and more for nearly 50 kids.

Organiser Rob Slight said: “It was really popular and it turned out quite nicely.

“It was mainly to promote the carnival and raise funds.

“I’d like to thank the town council for letting us have the hall for free.”
