A DAHLICIOUS dress-up day at a Portishead school raised hundreds of pounds for charity.

Pupils at Trinity Primary School stepped into the shoes of their favourite Roald Dahl character for a magical day of creative play.

Children paid �1 each to dress as their favourite character which was then donated to Roald Dahl’s Marvellous Children’s Charity, which supports children living with serious illnesses. Activities throughout the day were centred around the famous author’s bestselling books.
