The annual event in aid of the Save the Children charity will this year be held on Sunday and Monday, with a new garden open to visitors.

One of the organisers, Barbara Molesworth, said The Church House in Church Street was a first time opener with an acre garden and games on the lawn.

Gable Croft, also in Church Street has a walled garden, a restored Victorian Conservatory and will have refreshments available.

At Garden Croft in Daisy Lane visitors can explore the cottage garden and take a look at the plant sale.

Mrs Molesworth said that the Kinnerton Morris Men would be performing on the Sunday at 2pm and the Haslington Folk Group on the Monday at 2pm. Andy the Bagpiper will be at the gardens on both days.

"Garden entrance is by donation with proceeds to Save the Children. Dogs on leads are welcome and parking will be signposted," she said.
