Hundreds raised for charity at Burnham-On-Sea Smile Walk

More than 40 colourfully dressed walkers strode out for charity when Burnham-On-Sea's annual Smile Walk took place on Sunday afternoon (June 14th).

The popular fancy dress walk started next to the town's jetty and the walkers made their way along The Esplanade, past the pier, before returning and taking in the Southern Esplanade and Sailing Club.

This year's event was accompanied by live music from the town band and balloons and refreshments were laid on for the participants.

Proceeds from the event will go to the Peter Gilliard Memorial School in India and organiser Becky Saunders (pictured right) told Burnham-On-Sea.com she was delighted with how the event had gone.

"The walk went really well - we had a great turnout, great weather and there was a fun atmosphere. Thanks go to everyone who helped make it another success," she said.
