Scores of families attended the last activity of the summer season in Halcon, Taunton, on Saturday.

The family fun event at Viridor Green rounded off a series of events for local children over the school holiday.

It was organised by the Link Centre, whose manager, Denise Chidgey, said: “Hundreds of children have taken part in our activities which have been welcomed by everyone, providing much-needed entertainment during the long holidays.

“We made the events very family orientated so all members of the family could come together and join in and it seemed to be a winning formula.

“This event was clearly proving very popular on Saturday and was staged with much help from local volunteers and with backing from ASDA, who have been forging strong links with the local community.”

Among the visitors was Rebecca Pow, who is standing for the Conservatives at the next General Election in Taunton.
