THIS year’s annual Alcester Garden Walkabout raised more than £4,080 for Cancer Research UK.

More than 550 guests visited the 25 beautiful open gardens around the picturesque town of Alcester.

Secretary of Alcester Friends of Cancer Research UK Sue Blackburn said: "We are thrilled with how the day went.

"Although the weather was doubtful and the rain came at 4pm, we managed to raise over £4,080 for Cancer Research UK - a brilliant result."

Over the years the event has raised more than £ 60,000 for the charity.
