SUMMER Splash events are due to take place in Carlisle, Brampton and Longtown for the first time in two years.

Carlilse Matters have organised events for children featuring bouncy castles, fairground rides and other activities.

The events will run from 1pm to 4pm and will cost £1 per child.

Tim Linford from Carlisle Matters said: "We know that families don’t have a lot of spare money at the moment and hope that this inexpensive afternoon out, is a treat for the kids."

The first event is at King George Playing Field, Brampton on August 10.
