PEOPLE are being invited to a couple's back garden in the Meon Valley to enjoy a performance among the flowers for a good cause.
This year the Villagers Open Air Shakespeare Group will be performing Shakespeare’s comedy As You Like It in the garden of Hill Farm House, Droxford Road in Swanmore.
Mike and Jenny Maunder will be hosting the event on July 27, starting at 7.30pm.

Jenny and her husband Mike hosted their first show back in 2011 and have since raised money from the annual event for vital equipment within the neonatal intensive care unit. The unit supports babies like their grandson who are born prematurely.
The Villagers group from Gosport formed in 1986, after a conversation over the vegetable counter at Waitrose. Here it was decided that the recreated 17th Century village Little Woodham would be an ideal location for a Shakespeare play, where the amateur actors still perform today. With a total of 25 people covering acting and production, members come from all walks of life.
Tickets cost £12 for adults and £6 for children under 16.
