FAMILIES can enjoy a day of games, crafts and noisy, colourful silliness this half term at Dudley Canal Trust.

The trust will be warming up for this year’s Olympic games with Rio de Janeiro carnival inspired events.

Children can take part in Olympic themed games and make a carnival mask before showing off their creations in a mini procession down to the towpath between 11am and 3pm until June 5.

The activities will be held in the trust's new multi-million pound Portal building and cost £2 per child.

But the fun doesn't stop there - every Monday during term time the trust offers a special toddler trip at 10am.

For 50p per person, families can take a short boat trip before enjoying stories and songs and 25 per cent off at the Gongoozler cafe.
