YOUNGSTERS made the most of the school holidays at a fun day at Shoebury Park.

A range of of activities were on offer to entertain children of all ages - from an easter egg hunt to a display from Cycles UK and a 35ft-long obstacle course.

Southend United football club also hosted a skills session.

The event was organised by police community support officer Emma Hewitt.

Her colleagues from Essex Police taught self defence skills during a special display.

She said: "We wanted to organise something for youngsters in Shoebury to look forward to during the school holidays.

"What better than a fun day for all ages?"

The popular Art Wall was also relaunched for teenagers who enjoy graffiti, while the fire service educated people about fire safety.
