A PIRATE-themed nursery event in Axminster has raised �180 for charity.

The Big Toddle for Barnado’s, which involved a walk and picnic, was organised by Dolphin’s Nursery in North Street.

Owner Jane Morrissey said: “It was quite amazing because we are such a small group. It was a lot more than I thought we would manage. I would like to thank everybody who took part.”
