A FAMILY activities day will take place at Riverside Park in Burnham this summer.

Maldon District Council has organised the free event from 12pm to 5pm on Thursday, July 31, which aims to offer a full afternoon of entertainment for all ages.

Cllr Richard Siddall, leader of Maldon District Council, said: "I am delighted that the council is hosting this family activities day at Riverside Park.

"It’s a fantastic opportunity for families to come together, enjoy a range of free activities, and make the most of our wonderful local facilities.

"I encourage everyone to come along and take part in what promises to be a fun-filled day for all ages."

Among the highlights will be a community skatepark session led by King Ramps at the newly built skatepark, running throughout the afternoon.

Maldon & District CVS will host Green Space Games from 1pm to 3pm, while Dengie Hundred Leisure Centre will open its sports hall for table tennis and badminton from 12pm to 1.30pm and again from 2.30pm to 4pm.

The council’s Community Safety Team will also be offering free bike security marking and advice on community safety.

The event is being delivered in partnership with Essex Youth Service, Active Essex, and other supporting organisations.

Maldon District Council encourages families from across the area to attend and enjoy the day.

Further details will be shared on the council’s social media channels.
