ALCESTER nursery is on the lookout for past pupils, teachers, and parents to help celebrate its 21st birthday.

The playgroup will mark its milestone anniversary with a picnic on Friday at The Greig.

Nursery committee member Corinne Ellis said: "We're hoping to attract anyone who has ever had any contact with the nursery to the event -- from current staff, children and parents to ex-staff, ex-committee members, former pupils and parents."

The picnic will start at about 7pm and visitors should bring their own food and rugs. There will also be live music and a bar. Anyone interested can call nursery manager Debi French during office hours on 01789 765780.
