A SPRING fun day will raise funds for a children’s dance extravaganza.

Aycliffe Dance Academy is holding the event at the Bethany Centre at Village Close in Newton Aycliffe from 11am to 3pm on Saturday, April 26.

Families will be treated to an array of treats and activities, including a bouncy castle, balloon modelling, hook the duck, hair and nails, cakes, hot dogs and guest appearances from SpongeBob SquarePants, Princess Sophia and Professor Nincompoop.

Entry is free and all money raised on the day will help cover the cost of costumes for the academy’s dance show at the Xcel Centre in July.
