Alex Porter, Tendring Council’s cabinet member for leisure and tourism, said the ghostly goings-on would be well worth a visit.

He said: “With the weather not always great in the Autumn half-term, why not head down to your local leisure centre to keep yourself and the children active during the school holiday?

“There is something for everyone.”
