Jane and Tony Bews are opening their lovely country garden, Shapinsay, Lyndon Road, Manton, Rutland on Sunday 29th August from 2.00 to 5.00pm raise vital funds for Sue Ryder, Thorpe Hall Hospice.

"Your kind support helps us to be able to continue to offer our compassionate palliative care and bereavement support to local families – and fill someone's last days with love."
