A magical mystery tour was in store for youngsters at three Keighley primary schools yesterday.

Children at Stanbury Village, Oxenhope C of E and Nessfield primary schools wore magic capes and were told fascinating stores in Holden Park.

Actor Alex Fellowes led the youngsters on a tour of the park, explaining its history and Sharon Saddler led a workshop for the children to write their own magic potions.

Wood Turners, of Wyke, helped them magic wands in Holden Hall.

The event was to kick off Education Bradford’s Learn out of the Classroom initiative.

Tim Whitehead, a senior teacher at Stanbury Village School, said: “The whole idea is to get children outside in the environment to fire their imagination for learning.”
