MOBY the playbus is bringing lots of exciting play-based activities to a range of locations in the Golden Valley and Ross-on-Wye areas in the next three weeks.

All playdays are free and aimed at children up to 13. Under-fives must bring an adult with them, and sessions last for two hours.

Next week, Moby will be parked at Clehonger Village Hall on Monday for wildplay, face painting and wand/tiara making fun, and at Clifford Community Hall on Tuesday. The following week, he'll drive up to Brampton Abbotts Primary School on Monday, Bridstow Primary School on Tuesday, Kings Caple Primary School on Wednesday, Goodrich Primary School on Thursday and TudorVille on Friday for wildplay.

Music for the under-fives, wildplay, face painting and craft activity will be on the programme for Moby's appearance at Peterchurch Community Hall on August 31 and later on the same day, firefighters will provide games, information and a demonstration of how their fire engine works.

Morning sessions start at 10.30am, afternoons at 1.30pm. For details, call Elizabeth Davies or Zoe Woods on 01432 261681. £, What's the cost for a family of four?
