STAFF at St Richard's Hospice are busy preparing their picnic baskets for a huge fund-raising event in aid of the charity on Sunday.

An outdoor picnic concert will take place in the grounds of Worcester estate agent and High Sheriff of Worcestershire Andrew Grant's home, Bransford Manor.

Tickets for the event, which takes place from noon to 4pm, cost £10 per car and are available from the Worcester News office in Hylton Road and the Malvern Gazette office in Broads Bank, Malvern.

St Richard's director of fund-raising, Marilyn Peachey, said: "It's all set to be a fantastic day with music and entertainment in a beautiful setting.

A grand raffle will also be drawn on the day with a range of fantastic prizes.

Tickets can also be bought by calling the credit card hotline on 01905 742397.
