A WIDE variety of items will be up for grabs when a “friendly community” of homeowners hold an event next month.

The Monkwick Garden Sale Trail is set to take place in the Colchester estate on September 3 and 4 between 10am and 4pm.

Throughout the two mornings and afternoons, residents will try to shift an array of both new and used from their front gardens.

Arrows and signs will be put up around the estate to guide attendees through the event and to ensure they do not miss any stalls.

The signage will also feature child-engaging picture clues as part of a special treasure hunt offering a plethora of prizes.

A spokesman for the garden sale trail said: “Residents of Monkwick are having a clear out and selling a wide variety of new and used items on their front gardens.

“So come and join us, take a wonder around the estate and find all the sales, have a chat and maybe grab a bargain or two.”

Guests looking to bag themselves a unique trinket should head to 14 Prince Philip Road on the days of the event to pick-up a map.
