A HAMPSHIRE venue will open its doors to raise funds for charity.

Longstock Park Water Garden in Stockbridge, near Winchester, will welcome visitors on September 20.

The garden is only open to the public 12 times a year.

It is hoped that hundreds will go to the venue in aid of assistance dog charity Canine Partners.

It will open from 2.00pm to 5.00pm but it is suggested visitors arrive at 1.30pm.

Entry price is £6 per adult and £2 per child (aged 5-14), with under-5s going free.
