A SHOPPING centre is offering children the chance to enjoy free workshops during the half-term holidays.

Colchester’s Lion Walk centre will run the workshops on Friday and Saturday, with three to five-year-olds welcome for a session to create their own lion between 10am and 10.45am.

Those aged six to ten should come along between 11.30am and 12.15pm and construct their own version of Colchester Castle.

To book a place or for further information you should email: events@lionwalk.co.uk.
