Open gardens event in Oakham raised £1,002 for the Rutland and Melton Cancer Support Group.



Cllr Joyce Lucas and husband, Mr and Mrs Merchant and Mavis and Frank Wolloff all opened their gardens for the cause. Fine weather ensured a steady stream of visitors with people arriving from far and wide.

The town’s Mayor, Adam Lowe, visited all three gardens and there was an exhibition, a book and paintings sale and refreshments.

This years event was a great success for fund raising, past years have seen Cllr Lucas only raise around £50 when she opened alone.
