A garden inspired by the hit Netflix show Bridgerton, currently on display at the Chelsea Flower Show, will relocate to a hospital site.

It will be moved to a courtyard within the grounds of Cambridge University Hospitals (CUH) for staff, patients and visitors to enjoy.

Designed by first-time designer Holly Johnston, the garden celebrates the third season of the global hit.

A spokesman for the hospital trust said they were "very grateful".
