    Arsonists set fire to a children’s play area in Bradford.

    Firefighters were called out to the Eccleshill Adventure Playground, otherwise known as the Big Swing Adventure Playground, on Monday 3 September as a blaze ripped through a structure known as the ‘hobbit house’. 

    A manager has estimated there to be around £50,000 worth of damage. 

    The charity delivers free adventure play sessions across the Bradford district, often in under-privileged areas of the city.
