Saturday's Pick: Launde Abbey Open Weekend

LIKE pancakes on Shrove Tuesday and fireworks on November 5, it’s tradition to visit Launde Abbey during the August Bank Holiday.

There’s running races on the lawn, hoopla, home-made scones, lollies that turn your tongue bright red, and the old donkey grazing in the field, bless.

This year, Launde has also arranged a circus and carnival extravaganza, plus a car boot sale, because the abbey could close if it fails to raise a whopping £1million for essential maintenance and improvements.

How can you deprive your children of such rural pleasure?
