Hundreds of mini pirates looted their way around a Bank Holiday treasure hunt.
Blake End Craft Centre, in Rayne, was transformed into a treasure island on Monday where families could follow a map to find 12 hidden treasure chests.
About 300 children donned their best pirate costumes in the hope of winning a prize and enjoyed a bouncy castle, candy floss, ice cream and arts and crafts after completing their hunt for a bag of gold.
Kirsty Richardson and Clare Nixon, of Cosplay, organised the event, which they hope will raise £600 for the Broomfield Hospital Children’s Burns Ward.
