THINGS will be bouncing in Stanford-le-Hope's Hardie Park later this week.

The first of two days of inflatables fun will take place on Thursday, 4 Augustfrom 11am to 4pm. A second will take place on Thursday, 18 August.

Wristbands for a day of unlimited fun are £5 per older child and all you have to do is turn up on the day.

There will be an area for older children aged up to 12 years and a smaller area for smaller children (wruistbands £2) aged between two and five. Smaller children will need to be accompanied.

The park café will be open for ice cream, coffees and snacks!

Meanwhile the Friends of Hardie Park are still looking for volunteers to help them staff the facilities. To find out more or register your interest, click here.
