A DAY of fun and entertainment has been organised to raise money for two local schools.

The Charminster Family Fun Day will be taking place at St Mary's First School Charminster and will be starting at 12pm on Sunday, September 11.

Organisers say the event will be 'bigger and better than ever before' and is running in aid of both the Charminster Pre-school and St Mary's First School.

There is free entry and the event will be hosting a wide range of attractions for visitors including live music and performances, games, a prize draw, trade stalls, inflatable fun, creepy crawlies, tombola, forest school, cakes sales, hot food and a licensed bar.
