A silent night was had by all during a special Bromyard Brownies sleepover event.

Twenty children and four adults packed their sleeping bags into Pencombe Village Hall on Friday and Saturday night.

The event, coupled with the annual camp holiday, was part of a nationwide Giant Sleepover competition, sponsored by BT.

Brownies spokesman Carol Massey said: "It was absolutely brilliant, we had a wonderful time, the weather was great and everyone was on their best behaviour."

Water slides and paddling pools were laid on for children on Saturday, and Sunday heralded a visit to nearby Shortwood Family Farm.

"It was great, the children could see all the animals, and stroke the kittens and guinea pigs," said Carol.

"We're not sure yet how many children took part in the Giant Sleepover, but we had a great time anyway."
