A PLAY area and stalls of toys proved a hit with youngsters at a special event in Portishead.

Parish Wharf Leisure Centre in Harbour Road played host to numerous traders on Thursday for a day of all things child and baby related.

Organised by Tiddlers and Toddlers, the event featured a range of local businesses offering advice and products aimed at mums and babies, parents selling second hand children’s goods and a large soft play area put on by Tumbes Play ‘n’ Party.

Vanda Photography offered free child photo sessions, hairdresser Lisa Griffiths carried out children’s hair cuts and taster sessions of the baby classes Baby Sensory and Blissful Bambinos were put on.

Magician Richard Ballinger was also on hand to provide entertainment.
