WORCESTERSHIRE County Council is celebrating National Childcare Month with a day of pure fun.

The Big Event takes place on Saturday at Worcester Racecourse between 11am and 3pm and is run by the county's Early Years and Childcare Development Partnership.

Jackie Birchley, of the children's information service, said: "Children and parents will be able to wander round and find out exactly what facilities are available in Worcestershire. As a fun day out for all the family, it's not to be missed, and admission is free."
