Pirates ahoy! Fun day on Burnham-On-Sea beach hailed a success

A
pirate-themed family fun day, held on Burnham-On-Sea beach on
Sunday (August 12th), has been hailed a success by organisers
after attracting hundreds of youngsters.
The
free family event was held over the course of five hours on the
sands next to The Pavilion, where entertainment included a fancy
dress competition, pirate-themed games, fun workshops, face painting,
giant bubble making and the Mudlarks community choir.
"We
had a great day with a good turnout and plenty of support from
local people. It went so well that I'd like to make this an annual
event," one of the organisers, Ian Jefferies, told Burnham-On-Sea.com.
Among
the visitors taking part in the day were MP Tessa Munt, who tried
her hand at giant bubble making, and Burnham County Councillor
Peter Burridge-Clayton, pictured above, who came dressed for the
part.
