The historic Msida Bastion Garden and Cemetery will tomorrow host its Spring Fair organised by Din l-Art Helwa's volunteers. The garden with its spectacular view over Marsamxetto Harbour and Fort Manoel, will be open from 9.30am to 5pm.

The day offers a full programme of exciting activities for families, especially for children, with a bouncy castle and face-painting between noon and 2pm. There will be a display of medieval sword fighting between 9.30 and 11.30am. Stalls will be selling books, plants, bric-a-brac and light refreshments, while guided tours in English will be given.

Entrance is against a donation of €2, while children under 12 are free of charge. This is the major fund-raising event of the year for the prize-winning Msida Bastion Cemetery and Garden, restored and managed by Din l-Art Helwa.

All proceeds go towards the maintenance of the garden and its historic monuments.
