Spring fête and open day

Din l-Art Ħelwa will be organising its annual spring fête and open day at the Msida Bastion Historic Garden next Sunday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Guided tours by volunteer historians will be held at 12.45 p.m. and at 2 p.m. Sandwiches, cakes and refreshments will be on sale. There will be stalls selling bric-a-brac, potted plants, books, cakes and food preserves.
