CHILDREN visiting the Margrove Heritage Park this summer are enjoying a world tour to celebrate the British Empire.

The summer programme of crafts and activities feature a different continent each week to link with the east Cleveland centre's exhibition celebrating The Victorians.

From Monday, the youngsters will be visiting Canada to make rocking Canadian mounties and creating card-craft animals next Wednesday.

From Sunday, August 12, the trip moves on to Australia. Children will be making boomer-angs, koala masks and aboriginal serpent kites.

The weekday sessions are from 10am to noon and from 2pm to 4pm. The Sunday sessions are from 2pm to 4pm only. All children must be accompanied by an adult. Entry to the centre and activities is free.
