YOUNGSTERS are being offered a programme of activities called the Boro Buzz.

It will incorporate more than 80 events across Middlesbrough from today to Saturday, November 5.

Last year, thousands of young people took part in the activities.

Among the highlights is an orienteering day in partnership with the Green Howards and a programme of Harry Potter-themed events.

Free swims will be available to the under-16s at council-run pools from Monday to Thursday and there will be a chance to see how Romans and Vikings lived.

Boro Buzz leaflets have been mailed to people aged 13 to 19 throughout Middlesbrough.
