Over 90 take part in traditional Easter race to top of Brent Knoll

Dozens of youngsters took part in the annual Easter run to the top of Brent Knoll on Saturday afternoon (April 2nd).

The race is held from outside the village's primary school and this year's event saw almost 90 children making their way to the summit and back.

Each youngster collected a numbered lolly stick at the top of the Knoll and then returned to the school where they claimed an Easter egg.

This year's event was won by Beck Bishop, 10, while Tiger Oatley-Summers, 10, was second - both are pictured.

Organiser Julie Rickwood, from the school's PTA, told Burnham-On-Sea.com: "The race was very well supported again this year by almost 90 children and we thank everyone who helped."

The event coincided with the school's Easter fayre, when a number of stalls and attractions were set up in the playground.
