A fundraising day is being held at Highwood Gardens, Charborough Park, in aid of Portland Bill Coastwatch.

It takes place on Sunday, May 5 from 2.30pm to 6pm at the gardens, which are on the Drax Estate on the A31 between Bere Regis and Sturminster Marshall.

Visitors will get the chance to stroll in the bluebell woods, see the rhododendron and azalea bushes and enjoy a cream tea. There will also be crafts, cakes, cards, books and a tombola on offer and performances by the Durnovaria Silver Band.

Coastwatch monitors the sea and land areas around Portland Bill and the Jurassic Coast seven days a week, and it is all run by volunteers.

Entry to the event costs £5 for adults and £2.50 for children aged from six to 16. No dogs are allowed.
