VISITORS are invited to a sneak preview of a snowdrop and rose-filled National Trust garden in Worcester this weekend.

On Saturday, February 5, people can admire the abundance of spring flowers at The Greyfriars in Friar Street, while supporting the National Gardens Scheme and a range of charities.

National Trust custodian Rachel Bannon said the day would be a great opportunity to see the historic grounds in full bloom.

Charities to benefit from the £1.50 a head entry fee will be Macmillan Cancer Relief, Marie Curie and NGS gardeners' bursaries, for the education and training of gardeners.

The Greyfriars, a 15th Century merchant's house, will open on a more permanent basis from Wednesday, March 2.
