FATHER Christmas joined toddlers, nursery, schoolchildren and parents for festive fitness fun at the Ledbury Children’s Centre.

The aim of the seasonal event was to encourage families to keep fit and healthy while still enjoying the treats of the festive season, such as mince pies and chocolate.

Children enjoyed exercising to Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes, the Hokey Cokey and their own version of Jingle Bells, and they were treated to hot drinks and seasonal refreshments.

In the afternoon there was an interactive retelling of the Christmas story by representatives from Ledbury Parish Church.

The children dressed up for this, sang and used props.
