FACE painting, keepy-up challenges and hair braiding will be taking place alongside the football at AFC Bournemouth this weekend.

The activities are all part of the club’s Help the Hospices Family Day on Saturday when tickets for two children and two adults will be £25, with £5 from every family ticket sold donated to Forest Holme, Lewis-Manning and Julia’s House hospices.

Cherries chairman Eddie Mitchell said: “The club has been working closely with the hospices over the course of the season, and it has been a privilege to be associated with them and I hope we have helped to highlight the good work that they do.

“It’s also crucial that we make it possible for young supporters and families to come to games, which we are committed to doing.

“We put on a Family Football Festival earlier in the season and it was a huge success, and I have no doubt the next will be the same.”

The activities kick off at 12pm.
