Friends and families waded through 4ft high walls of colourful foam bubbles yesterday.

The Bubble Rush was held at Betteshanger Country Park, near Deal, in aid of Demelza Hospice Care for Children, with 800 people attending.

Bubble stations created pathways full of colourful foam, with people invited to run, jog, walk, dance or toddle through the course.

The day began with an energetic warm up led by fitness coaches, The Body Coaches.

Compere, Rob Thornton, also kept crowds entertained whilst the Bloco Fogo Samba Band played throughout the day.

Katherine Cordrey, from Demelza, said: "A huge thank you to everyone who turned out for the Bubble Rush in Deal - everyone had a great day and there were smiles all round!

"As a charity, Demelza is almost entirely dependent on the generosity of our supporters to provide the funds that keep our services going so thank you - we could not do what we do without you."

An impressive £17,000 was raised from the day, which will go towards funding the services that are a lifeline to over 600 children, young people and families throughout the south east.
