STUNNING gardens will be opened to the public in a fun-filled fundraiser to boost Clacton lifeboat.

The open garden event will be based at The Hall in Tendring village, across Sunday May 29 and Monday May 30.

As well as the blooming gardens, there will be a classic car display, craft stalls, food, music and entertainment, and a photo competition and hedgehog hunt for children.

Entrance is £5 for adults and free for under-12s, with free parking.

All proceeds go to Clacton RNLI. Email clactonrnli@gmail.com for more information.
