AN evening of fine food and music at the stunning Hestercombe Gardens, near Taunton, next month, will support a national diabetes charity.

Diabetes UK is holding an evening of jazz from The Ambling Bank on May 5 from 6-11pm.

Guests will have unlimited access to the gardens, a welcome drink and a BBQ in Bamfylde Hall.

Sarah Reeves, regional fundraising manager at Diabetes UK South West, said: "The event is a great way for people to have a fun evening while raising vital funds for Diabetes UK.

"Diabetes is serious and can lead to complications such as heart disease, blindness and kidney failure. Money raised will go to support the work we do in improving the lives of people with diabetes, providing support and funding research."

Tickets are £26 each, with discounts when eight or more are bought together.
