A charity transformed its car park into a battle ground last week in a bid to let residents experience laser tag.

Revitalise Jubilee Lodge in Grange Farm Lane, Chigwell, which provides respite holidays for disabled people and carers, organised the event for around 30 residents, on Friday.

The car park was transformed with inflatable camouflaged barricades and guests were given high-tech laser guns and laser sensor headbands before being divided into teams.

Revitalise guest Chris Babet said: “It was a really fun day and it was great that everyone joined in with the activity.

"I’ve really enjoyed it and I would definitely take part in Laser Tag again.

"At Revitalise I am able to do things that I wouldn’t have the opportunity to do otherwise and I always look forward to coming back to see my friends.

"I’ve had an amazing week.”
