AN ANNUAL event raising money for Hampshire Hospitals is set to take place later this month.

The annual Hampshire Country & Garden Festival is due to take place on Saturday, June 26, and Sunday, June 27, at Bere Mill in Whitchurch.

There will be a mixture of events including talks with guest speakers Alexandra Tomlinson, Sue Stuart-Smith and Jude Palmer. In the demonstration tent guests will be inspired by nutritionist Amber Macintosh and international florist Simon Lycett.

Festivalgoers will be able to sample food from across the county while younger visitors will get the chance to snuggle up to Furlock Homes’ animal rescue rabbits.

The whole weekend is in support of The Hampshire Medical Fund, a charity buying pioneering medical equipment for Basingstoke, Andover and Winchester NHS hospitals.
