Hundreds of children turned up to Priory Park to enjoy an inflatable funday where several bouncy castles had been set up.

All the proceeds raised from the event, which is being repeated today at the park in Victoria Avenue, Southend, will go to the appeal which is building a new Children's Centre at Kingsdown School in Snakes Lane, Eastwood.
