CHILDREN climbed and bounced their way through an open day held by a Bolton company.

The boys and girls also enjoyed a barbecue, assault course, beat the keeper competition and face painting at the event held at the Burnden Group plc.

The highlight of the day, which was attended by 300 employees and their families, was a 4m high by 5.5m long climbing wall.

Marketing manager Iain McInnes said: "People of all ages queued to try out their mountaineering skills as they tried to clamber across the wall."

All visitors to the company, based on Burnden Road, were invited to enter a prize draw and five lucky visitors won gifts that included a Bolton Wanderers season tickets and a Playstation 2.
