Almost 60 children took part in this year's Team Parish Holiday Club from August 6th to 10th inside St Mary's Church, Melton Mowbray.
The youngsters, aged between 5 and 11, and those who help with the annual event, enjoyed the Bible-based club which included activities, drama, songs, crafts and games and this year was set in a circus ring with the theme of Circus Shenanigans. For more pictures click here.
