Liz Kitchen, New Horizons chairman, said: “By supporting our Garden and Local Produce Fair, you’re helping St Catherine’s be there to provide expert end of life care to local people when life comes full circle.

“We’re really looking forward to welcoming people to the fair and would like to thank Strutt and Parker and Thakeham for their support in helping us host this fantastic, spring day out.”

The event is a favourite in many people’s calendars, with many traders returning year on year.
