Bubble stations created pathways full of colourful foam, with people invited to run, jog, walk, dance or toddle through the course.

The day began with an energetic warm up led by fitness coaches, The Body Coaches.

Compere, Rob Thornton, also kept crowds entertained whilst the Bloco Fogo Samba Band played throughout the day.

Katherine Cordrey, from Demelza, said: "A huge thank you to everyone who turned out for the Bubble Rush in Deal - everyone had a great day and there were smiles all round!

"As a charity, Demelza is almost entirely dependent on the generosity of our supporters to provide the funds that keep our services going so thank you - we could not do what we do without you."
