Organiser Nikki Hamm explained: 'The children went round the estate spotting hazards to make them more aware of dangers like electricity sub-stations and dark alleyways.

'The kids absolutely loved it. They all got a free cream egg and a ticket to a disco at Meridian School.'

The event was funded with a 300 grant from Peacehaven Town Council.
