Visitors will be able to enjoy tea and homemade cakes, browse stalls, take part in a raffle and explore the cottage's gardens, which offer views across The Mere and feature a variety of wildlife and interesting plants.

Funds raised will support Feed the Birds, a Shropshire charity that provides nature-based befriending services for people who are socially isolated, elderly or caring for someone at home.
