More than 40 children got to put a new adventure house through its paces as a bit of a pre-Christmas treat.

Owls Play Centre, in Forest Road, Barkingside welcomed children to the new state of the art facility which was officially opened last week.

The children were from Fairlop Primary School, Fencepiece Road, Hainault, and got to try out the new play equipment with the slide being a particular favourite.

The centre is run by Vision Redbridge on behalf of Redbridge Council and is suitable for children aged six months to 11 years old.
