DRESSING up is always fun for youngsters, even more so when it is helping to raise funds for charity.

Children at the Playstation Nursery, near Ledbury railway station, let their imagination run riot this week by arriving as heroes and princesses.

The youngsters were either sponsored to dress up as their favourite characters or they paid for the privilege.

Nursery owner Ann Brennan said the money raised, still to be added up, will go to the Crackerjack Children's Trust, which is based in Leominster and helps children with severe disabilities.
