THE Tuesday Stay and Play with a teddy bears' picnic event is being relaunched at Northesk Church in Musselburgh on September 24.

Families can go along for an afternoon of fun with a favourite teddy bear or soft toy. They can take along picnic snacks and tea, coffee, juice and biscuit will be provided. There will be a teddy bear hunt, storytime and play.

Children are invited to take their favourite toy for playtime and there will be a special blessing from the minister Hayley Cohen. The event, 2-3.30pm, is for children up to five years old, their parents and carers. The cost is £2.

Those interested should contact Hayley at hcohen@churchofscotland.org.uk by next Friday (September 20).
