YOUNGSTERS can enjoy a free new indoor playground in Minehead.

Community Centre Minehead Eye has set up the playground thanks to funding from an Awards for All grant.

On Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays the skate park is turned into a play space for children aged five and under.

There are swings, slides, see saws, a bouncy castle and circus toys.

Sarah Ellwood, supervisor at the Eye said: “We really wanted to have somewhere for the younger children to be able to come and play for free and somewhere that was inside so they could enjoy it when the weather was bad.

“Part of the Awards for All Grant conditions are that what you get is free for the community to use.

“We will be holding events in half term.”

The play area is open from 10am to 2pm on Wednesdays and Thursdays and Fridays from 10am to 12pm.
