Parents in north Oxfordshire, stuck with ideas to entertain their children this summer need look no further.

Two organisations are hosting summer activities designed to be fun, and to keep children safe and busy.

Super Camps is holding a host of day camps at Sibford School, near Banbury, throughout the summer, for children aged four to 14-years-old.

Katie McIntosh, Super Camps regional manager said: "As a parent, the thought of packing the whole of the summer holiday with entertainment and fun can be an extremely daunting task.

"Together with working full-time, the prospect of summer can seem stressful and far from enjoyable."

Days combine sport, arts and play and include activities such as swimming, karting, trampolining, cooking and art, and cost from £29 to £32.

In August, for one week only, children aged eight to 18 can take part in a summer school event at Northampton's Royal and Derngate Theatre.

Children aged eight to 12 will work on a Pirates and Princesses theme where they will have a week of action and adventure.

For the 13 to 18 age group, there will be a week of intensive theatre training under the name of Five Days, One Play.
