HUNDREDS of children enjoyed a free day of activities and entertainment with Lancashire Adult Learning and Nelson and Colne College.

Visitors took part in Lego robotics and K'Nex challenges at the annual family fun day as well as a spaghetti challenge, face painting, balloon making, and a football competition with Burnley FC in the Community.

Frozen stars Elsa and Anna paid a visit while students from Colne Primet Academy held a dance performance.

Alison Masheder, LAL’s curriculum leader for family learning, said: "It was a huge success and it was a delight to see so many children and families enjoying learning together which is what it is all about.

"There were a range of free family learning activities that we offer such as arts and crafts and ICT tasters."

Christopher Booth, from Nelson, brought his granddaughter Ruby, aged three. He said: "I think it has been a brilliant. Elsa and Anna were fantastic. We've had a really great day out and everyone seems to have had a good time."

Rosalind Train, from Burnley, attended with her partner Dave and granddaughter Ruby, aged five. She said: "We've had a great time. I came along really to thank my teacher at LAL Hayley Sharples as I have just finished my Level 2 ICT course. Ruby loved having her face painted and it has been a lovely day."
