This was all put on to help educate youngsters about the annual celebration that is Chinese Lunar New Year, which took place on Saturday.

Discussing the success of the day, chief executive of the charity Dave McNicholl said: "Family days like our Lunar New Year celebration are a real highlight of the Youth Zone’s calendar.

“It was fantastic to open our doors to so many people from across Warrington and the surrounding areas.

“The young people and their families were able to get stuck into lots of Chinese-inspired activities, and the feedback we received during and after the event made the day extra special.”
