Flush from the success of the summer Arley Garden Festival the autumn Plant-hunters' Fair takes place at Arley Hall, near Northwich this Sunday.

Visitors will be able to purchase a large variety of plants from small nurseries selling alpines, perennials, culinary and medicinal herbs, shrubs and trees, hostas, conservatory plants and lots of other treasures.

"This is the second year we have held the Autumn Fair," says Judy Popley, marketing executive.

"And we are delighted to be able to invite some of the very best nurseries in the north west to attend. Our visitors last year certainly voted that the fair was a success from their point of view too and we have received a lot of interest already."

The fair is open from 10-4pm.
