Three community events at The Arcade in Dewsbury brought people of all ages together for a day of creativity, learning and sustainability.

Making Sparks hosted a Wizardry of Science workshop, where 60 children donned their wizard hats and explored magical science experiments, broomstick flying challenges and brain-boosting puzzles.

A spokesperson said: “The energy and enthusiasm were contagious, with parents and kids alike sharing their excitement for future events.”
