A VILLAGE store is raffling off a stunning original artwork, painted especially for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee.

There is still time to purchase tickets from the Enham Store and Post Office, with the fantastic first prize of an original painting of a Corgi donated and signed by artist Alex McGarry.

The draw will take place at the Landale Hall at 4pm on June 4.

Leslie Francis, who runs the store and was also recently elected chair of Enham Alamein Parish Council, said: "Thank you to those who have already bought tickets and a huge thank you to Alex for the incredible painting. We now have a charity account so every penny donated through the Post Office will go directly to landscaping the front of the Landale Wilson Hall creating additional parking and a safe, level surface."

With people preparing for a celebratory bank holiday weekend, she added: "We are getting a constant supply of fresh fruits and veg from St Mary Bourne PYO which is as popular as well as lots of other local produce and crafts. There are free copies of Hampshire Fare in store if you would like a copy.

"We are getting fresh flowers and plants in weekly and have all you need to keep your gardens looking good as well as BBQ supplies so you can relax and enjoy looking at your work."
