More than 100 people in fancy dress are to abseil down Bristol Children's Hospital to raise money for charity. The fundraisers, dressed as Hollywood characters such as Darth Vader and Lara Croft, are raising cash to decorate a new ward at the hospital.
Organisers said they wanted the new ward to be a "child-friendly, art enhanced environment".
The oldest abseiler, John Wilkins, 75, has raised more than �70,000 for charity during his lifetime.
