The summer holidays are almost here, and with six weeks to fill, Redbridge Megamix is offering a packed programme of activities to keep children entertained, active and creative throughout the break.
Whether you fancy making a splash in the pool, trying a new sport, catching a film or getting creative with arts and crafts, there's something for everyone across the borough.
Swimming sessions are available for just £1.50 at Mayfield and Loxford pools between 10am and 4pm. Booking opens on July 20 for weekday sessions running from July 27 to August 28.
With temperatures already soaring this summer, places are expected to prove popular, so families are encouraged to book early.
Sporty youngsters can head to one of several tennis camps run by the National Tennis Association in Goodmayes, Clayhall, Seven Kings and Valentines Park.
The camps cater for beginners looking to pick up a racket for the first time as well as more experienced players wanting to sharpen their skills.
Taster sessions are also available at Barley Lane, Loxford and South Park, providing a fun introduction to the sport.
Meanwhile, the Redbridge Drama Centre has an exciting programme of events lined up, including live shows, family films and hands-on workshops.
Comedy Club 4 Kids returns on August 19 with performances at 11am and 2pm.
It promises all the fun of a comedy club, but with jokes suitable for younger audiences. Tickets cost £3.50 for children and £5 for adults.
Film lovers can also enjoy screenings of family favourites including Hoppers (U), How to Train Your Dragon (PG) and The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants (PG).
Lego fans won't want to miss sessions with The Brick People on August 12, featuring a host of building challenges and creative activities.
And that's only the beginning.
Children can make a colourful butterfly sun catcher or paint a woodland pottery ornament at Hainault Forest, discover the world of radio journalism and podcasting at Redbridge Central Library, or crack the code to design their own keyring at one of seven venues across the borough.
Other activities include Zumba Jr sessions at Fullwell Cross Library, a chance to create a play in a day at Redbridge Drama Centre and African drumming workshops at the John Savage Centre.
With dozens of activities taking place at venues across Redbridge, this is just a small taster of what's on offer.
Whatever your interests, there's plenty happening to make this summer one to remember.
