In photos: Burnham-On-Sea's Octopus Centre celebrates first birthday

Dozens of toddlers and their families attended a special party at Burnham-On-Sea's Octopus Children Centre to mark its first year of operation on Friday (June 5th).

Lots of activities, with the theme of messy play and a bear hunt, were held at the popular centre in Winchester Road.

These included biscuit making, clay play, drumming and singing. Burnham's Mayor and Mayoress, Derick and Christine Cooper, were among the guests celebrating the special day.

The £500,000 centre was officially opened to the public in July last year - as reported here by Burnham-On-Sea.com. The centre was developed by Somerset County Council in partnership with Sedgemoor District Council, the local parish council and other groups.
