Andy Brook from Lancing Fabric Community Garden said: "There is likely to be high demand for the 50 boxes, so we have a booking system."

Please call Patsy Hoffman, community manager at FreedomWorks Lancing Fabric on 01903 900399 to be added to the list.

On Friday, August 26, you can meet the Gruffalo and his friends from 10am to midday. Volunteers have created a Gruffalo Trail for the garden, which will appeal to children of all ages.

Andy said: "Come along to take a walk and why not bring along a picnic to enjoy, too. There is plenty of seating.

"There are no charges for these events, donations to support the garden are welcomed. We will have a gazebo available if the weather is hot again."
