THE Colwall Orchard Group is inviting everyone to bring a picnic and enjoy some family fun in the beautiful Broadwood Orchards at this year's Blossom Picnic on Sunday, May 1, between 11am and 3pm.

Tea, juice, cider and cakes will be on sale and there will be children's art activities and wildlife safaris.

Why not start the day with a dawn chorus guided ramble through Colwall's orchards followed by breakfast at the Chase Inn? Booking is essential for the dawn chorus walk, so call Tim on 01684 540569.

Both events are raising money for the community orchard at the Colwall Village Garden. To find out more, visit colwallorchardgroup.org.
