Organisers said: “Explore the walled Dutch garden at Hatch House, featuring two elegant tiers of lawn bordered by vibrant herbaceous displays and breath taking views across the Vale of Wardour.

“A highlight of the day is sure to be Lady Rumbold and Mrs. Fairhurst’s vintage and pre-loved clothing marquees – a treasure trove of beautifully curated ladies’ and men’s wear.

“Browse stalls offering antiques, collectables, household goods, books, homemade cakes, preserves and more.“

Enjoy refreshments in the picturesque gardens with cakes, teas, Compton McRae BBQ and Pimms while listening to live jazz and soul performed by local vocalist Charlie Greenwood.
