More than 40 firefighters have been tackling a blaze at a

:00:12.:00:15.

It's thought the fire has caused ?750,000 worth of damage.

:00:16.:00:22.

Around 2,500 children were due to attend the Funky Fun Playhouse

:00:23.:00:26.

this Easter weekend, but the fire has gutted the building

:00:27.:00:29.

and the owners say it will be months before it can reopen.

:00:30.:00:32.

The smashed windows and blackened brickwork

:00:33.:00:38.

tell their own story about the intensity

:00:39.:00:41.

of the fire which started here just before 11 o'clock last night.

:00:42.:00:45.

So we have inside an office area of two floors which is

:00:46.:00:49.

built of what we call a mezzanine construction so it's almost

:00:50.:00:52.

The heat was building up within that area and

:00:53.:00:56.

then moving on into the wider play area.

:00:57.:00:58.

Now, of the very nature of the business behind

:00:59.:01:01.

us with the climbing frames and all the soft play

:01:02.:01:03.

furnitures in there, we were very loath to commit crews

:01:04.:01:06.

to the building and we had no intelligence

:01:07.:01:08.

So it was a case of fighting the fire from external means.

:01:09.:01:13.

Behind the play centre is a recycling depot

:01:14.:01:16.

and crews feared if the fire wasn't contained quickly,

:01:17.:01:19.

there was a serious risk it could spread.

:01:20.:01:22.

In the end, in needed crews from two counties

:01:23.:01:25.

This fire comes at one of the busiest times of the year

:01:26.:01:34.

Today alone they were expecting around 700 children with

:01:35.:01:37.

four birthday parties also booked in.

:01:38.:01:38.

And across the entire Easter period, they were expecting 2500 children.

:01:39.:01:41.

The management says it is trying to contact all customers

:01:42.:01:46.

with prebooked parties and says its Facebook page is also

:01:47.:01:50.

Meanwhile, a joint investigation by both the Fire Service

:01:51.:01:55.

Two teenagers have been stabbed at a party involving a large group

:01:56.:02:05.

It happened just after one o'clock this morning at the Kursaal.

:02:06.:02:11.

A 17-year-old is in hospital in a stable but "life

:02:12.:02:14.

A 16-year-old suffered minor injuries.

:02:15.:02:18.

And an 18-year-old has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder.

:02:19.:02:24.

In football - defeat for Norwich yesterday,

:02:25.:02:26.

and a win for Ipswich but with the season drawing in now,

:02:27.:02:29.

just five of our sides are still in the hunt

:02:30.:02:32.

for the play-offs, and they had mixed fortunes in yesterday's

:02:33.:02:35.

Southend got their play-off campaign back on track with a 4-0 win

:02:36.:02:43.

After defeats in the last two outings, Mr Brown's boys

:02:44.:02:47.

bounced back to form, including two goals for Simon Cox.

:02:48.:02:49.

Southend remain at one spot and one point

:02:50.:02:53.

outside the play-off places after sixth place Millwall

:02:54.:02:56.

overcame Northampton, who are probably safe now.

:02:57.:02:59.

In League Two, Luton stay fourth after drawing 2-2 at home to Orient.

:03:00.:03:03.

And after Orient hit back twice, Isaac Vassell

:03:04.:03:08.

grabbed a point for Luton with 15 minutes left.

:03:09.:03:14.

Stevenage slipped up though with a surprise 1-0 defeat

:03:15.:03:16.

They'd won their previous eight home matches

:03:17.:03:24.

but they slip to sixth in the play-off places.

:03:25.:03:26.

Colchester are still in the hunt after drawing 1-1 at home to

:03:27.:03:29.

the league leaders Doncaster, who are chasing the title.

:03:30.:03:31.

Ben Dickenson's strike earned Colchester a point,

:03:32.:03:33.

which lifts them to ninth, two points from the pack.

:03:34.:03:35.

And Cambridge are still in the mix, despite losing 2-1 at Grimsby.

:03:36.:03:38.

Brad Halliday with a consolation goal for Cambridge

:03:39.:03:40.

They fall to 11th but they're just three points adrift.

:03:41.:03:47.

Well, if you're planning to do any Easter egg hunting

:03:48.:03:55.

outside tomorrow, you might want to get up early

:03:56.:03:57.

But we have had some decent sunshine today, as captured by our

:03:58.:04:01.

Weather Watcher Amy here in Cromer in Norfolk,

:04:02.:04:03.

There should be some late sunshine for most of us as well.

:04:04.:04:08.

Still quite breezy though and it does cloud over in the night.

:04:09.:04:11.

So we start the day on a cloudy, damp note,

:04:12.:04:15.

this patchy rain right from the start becoming

:04:16.:04:17.

more persistent as we head into the afternoon and with

:04:18.:04:19.

that west to north-westerly wind, feeling quite chilly under the rain.

:04:20.:04:22.

Temperatures up to about 11 or 12 Celsius but in some spots,

:04:23.:04:25.

it may not make it above single figures.

:04:26.:04:32.

So, a bit of a wash-out for Easter Sunday but it should have

:04:33.:04:35.

cleared overnight so by Monday, things are looking a little drier.

:04:36.:04:38.

There will be some sunny spells but one or two isolated showers,

:04:39.:04:43.

perhaps a little heavy as we head into the afternoon.

:04:44.:04:46.

Still quite chilly though with highs of 11 or 12 Celsius.

:04:47.:04:53.

That's it, we're back tomorrow evening at 6.50 and again 10.20.

:04:54.:04:56.

Good evening. These and but not spectacular is probably a neat way

:04:57.:05:20.

to describe the weather this Easter weekend. -- decent but not

:05:21.:05:24.

spectacular. A bit of sunshine, patchy cloud and showers today, but

:05:25.:05:29.

as we can see from the satellite and radar, the showers are easing, cloud

:05:30.:05:33.

melting away, so a decent evening if you are heading out. Once it gets

:05:34.:05:38.

dark, it will be chilly, cold enough for a touch of frost in places, then

:05:39.:05:44.

a change out West. Northern Ireland, south-west Scotland clouding over

:05:45.:05:47.

with outbreaks of rain, and this wet weather splashes erratically

:05:48.:05:51.

eastwards during tomorrow, spoiling east today for some, especially

:05:52.:05:55.

across central areas. To the north of that, if you are out for a stroll

:05:56.:06:00.

in Scotland, sunshine, a few showers, but chilly, 8-9d. Poking up

:06:01.:06:05.

across Northern Ireland by this stage, but through northern England,

:06:06.:06:10.

the Midlands, East Anglia, as the rain rolls in,
