Thame Showground will be flooded with children of all ages next week, as more than 600 youngsters have booked on to the town's largest holiday club for young people.
Now in its second year, Lighthouse Thame helps local children get their summer off to a great start with a full programme of events including sports, drama, craft, songs and Bible reading.

There is something for everyone with even a dedicated marquee for parents and toddlers. Every day concludes with a great get together in the 'Lighthouse Thame Big Top' where one of the leaders is gunged and activities end with some super songs with plenty of action.

"This year we have also added an event for the elderly on Tuesday and Thursday where we will be entertaining a number of older people in Thame," said Angela Willson.

And it doesn't end there; every evening there is a special event for the youth beginning with Halo:gen activities for young people.

"We have some awesome games, engaging speakers, live bands, barbecues and a giant inflatable evening," said Pete Stratton, Barley Hill Church youth leader.

Lighthouse Thame is run through a partnership of local churches and this year over 300 volunteers have signed up to help.

Linda Newton, chairman of Lighthouse Thame said: "We had some terrific feedback last year and volunteers from over 16 churches have worked really hard to make sure this year's event is even bigger and better.

"We now hope Lighthouse Thame will have a permanent place in the diary of major local events. It was brilliant to see so many people working together in the community."
