A POPULAR Yellow Book garden, which is home to an award-winning brewery, is opening for charity this weekend.

The opening of the Wold Newton garden, Hunmanby Grange, on Saturday and Sunday (June 4 and 5), coincides with the annual open weekend for Wold Top Brewery.

Visitors can tour the interesting garden that Gill Mellor has created despite its exposure to the elements and a challenging soil.

She will share her stories about how the garden has evolved over 25 years into a series of gardens that have been developed depending on shelter, aspect, views and need.

A new addition for the 2016 opening is the water feature that was a showpiece of the Welcome to Yorkshire award winning 2015 Chelsea garden, Brewer's Yard.

Refreshments will be available from local business, Field and Forage, whose cattle graze in the farm's dale and there will be plants on sale.

Visitors to the brewery will see where and how the award-winning ales are made and will be able to talk to the brewery team.

Gill Mellor, brewery owner and trained horticulturalist, said: "We're delighted to support the work of the NGS for the 22nd consecutive year and to share our piece of a Chelsea show garden. Visitors will also be able to see the stunning location that clients of our wedding and events venue, Muddy Souls Events, benefit from."

The gardens and the brewery will be open between 11am and 5pm on both days and proceeds from the entry money will go via the NGS to charity. St Cuthbert's church in neighbouring Burton Fleming will benefit from the proceeds from teas and coffees.
