SUITCASES, handkerchiefs and even umbrellas were used to illustrate life at the seaside during a fun session in Portishead.

Kirsty Cox of the Freshwater Theatre Company paid a visit to year one pupils at High Down Infant School in Down Road.

Kirsty is pictured with pupils William, Eden, Erin and Dylan.
