BRETHERTON  GARDENS OPEN FOR CHARITY IN 2011
 
A group of gardens spread across the village opens each year for the National Gardens Scheme (the Yellow Book) in aid of well-known national charities such as Macmillan, Marie Curie, Help the Hospices, Crossroads - Caring for Carers. This year, 20% of funds raised are being donated direct to Queeenscourt Hospice in Southport. The three open days held so far this year have raised a total of £2750.

The gardens will be open for the last time this season on Sunday 4 September from 12 noon to 5 pm, combined admission £4, children free. Home-made teas will be available at the Congregational Schoolroom, and yellow direction signs will guide visitors to the gardens.
