HOW do you fancy having your garden redesigned by a Chelsea Show-winning horticulturalist?

Or a swanky, romantic overnight stay in the four-poster bed suite at the Whitehouse Hotel in Foregate Street?

These are just two of the fantastic prizes up for grabs in a grand raffle being held to raise money for St Richard's New Hospice Appeal.

The draw will be held on Sunday at an outdoor charity picnic concert being organised by the chairman of the appeal - High Sheriff of Worcestershire and estate agent Andrew Grant - in the grounds of his own home, Bransford Manor.

Mr Grant is hoping the event - which is supported by the Worcester News and will feature the Jack Daniels Big Band and plenty of children's entertainment - will raise around £10,000 for the charity, which is working towards raising the final £400,000 towards its £5.25m target to build a new hospice at Spetchley.

Tina Stanley, a member of the organising committee, said the event would be wonderful.

"What better way to spend a Sunday afternoon than enjoying a picnic with family and friends in beautiful surroundings while being entertained," she added.

"And don't forget there's fabulous prizes - which also include a family ticket for a Worcester rugby match and a meal for two at the Chateau Impney, Droitwich - on offer to everyone who buys a raffle ticket."

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

They are also available by calling the credit card hotline on 01905 742397.

Raffle tickets, which cost £1 each, are also available from the Worcester News reception, or from Andrew Grant's office in Foregate Street, Worcester.
