Dozens of brightly coloured costumes will be on show at Burnham-On-Sea annual’s Smile Walk this Sunday (June 22nd).
The popular fancy dress walk will start at 2pm next to the town’s jetty and is open to all.
The walkers will then wander along the Esplanade to the Sailing Club and back, all in aid of a good cause.
This year’s event will also include live jazz music and there will be balloons and sweets for young participants, plus refreshments for all walkers.
C&H Costumes are hiring costumes to all Smile Walkers at a discounted rate on production of a Smile Walk sponsor form, while Jester Prints are providing yellow ‘happy face’ T-shirts for walkers who don’t want to dress up.
Proceeds will be going to the Peter Gilliard Memorial School in India, organiser Becky Saunders told Burnham-On-Sea.com: “The school has grown from 30 students to over 260 in the space of five years and now we need to raise even more money as not all the children are covered by individual sponsorship. Please help us raise some more smiles and money for some of the world’s poorest children.” Further information is available from Becky on 01278 792374.
