Tickets for the event, sponsored by Bidwells, cost £6 (adults) and £2 (for 16-year-olds and under – under-threes free).

Accuro’s events co-ordinator Ruth Davies said: “We are hoping families, friends and jazz lovers will come along to not only enjoy the gardens and Barry Tyler’s Jazz Band but also to help raise funds for Accuro’s Under-19’s scheme.

“We will have a bar with real ale, wines and fizz. Refreshments will also be available with plenty of homemade cakes!

“There will be tables and chairs arranged in the kitchen gardens or just bring along blankets with your picnic!”

Accuro operates throughout west Essex (Epping Forest, Harlow and Uttlesford) supporting people of all ages with a disability and providing short breaks for their families and carers.
