A FREE event will be held at an Oxfordshire park this weekend where visitors can make a 'bee hotel'.

The event will take place on Saturday (September 7) in the Garth Garden at Garth Park in Bicester

Those who attend will have the chance to build a 'solitary bee hotel' out of natural and recycled materials, which can then be taken home and take pride of place in a garden or local green space.
