PEOPLE will be able to see spring in blossom at a stately home in Malvern as it opens to the public next week.

Little Malvern Court's gardens will be open on Monday, May 2.

Eagle-eyed visitors may want to look out for the footprint in one of the ancient tiles removed when the priory roof was restored.

The gardens are set across 10 acres and feature spring bulbs and flowering shrubs, water-features and views of the Severn Valley.

Visitors will also be able to enjoy teas, a plant stall, a book stall and - in Little Malvern Priory - flowers, music and poetry.

The gardens are open from 2pm to 5pm and admission is £3.50 and 50p for children aged five to 14 years old.

Proceeds go to the National Gardens Scheme and Little Malvern Priory.
