HUNDREDS of people converged on Taunton's Vivary Park yesterday in a mammoth charity fundraiser.

Events and entertainment were staged at the It's Childsplay event in aid of the Children's Hospice South West.

The day was organised by the Rotary Club of Taunton Vale and sponsored by chartered accountants Milsted Langdon.

A group of 15 dads walked 60 miles over three days to get to the event from the hospice's Little Bridge House, in Barnstaple.
