A charity colour dash will take place in Ely next weekend to raise money for East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices.

The fundraiser, on Saturday August 12, will see participants showered with clouds of coloured powder paint as they take on the five-kilometre (3.1-mile) fun run.

The event takes place at Kings Ely between 11am and 1pm. Entry costs £20 per adult which includes a t-shirt, medal and a pot of paint for the paint party. There are also child, family and team tickets available. All funds raised will go towards EACH.

The closing date to join the colour dash is Thursday August 10.
