Lilley Flower Festival in full bloom for Bank holiday weekend, writes Bev Creagh
Lilley's famous annual flower festival promises to be a holiday highlight this year as St Peter's Church opens its doors to reveal an interior brimming with stunning displays created by its green-fingered amateur florists.
The theme is Off to the Cinema and there are 21 exhibits. So expect a cornucopia of glorious colours and original ideas – including The Dam Busters, Mrs Harris goes to Paris and Singing in the Rain – filling window sills, choir stall and the chancel.
There's fun for all the family with delicious lunches, home-made cakes, refreshments and a variety of stalls in the Cassel Hall.
They cover everything from popular locally grown plants to a wide range of books and lots of intriguing bargains on the white elephant stall.
There will also be a raffle.
The Festival is open from 1030am to 4pm on both Saturday and Sunday, April 29 and 30.
Make a day of it and wander round the fascinating churchyard.
Entrance is £3.50 and proceeds will go to the beautiful 19th Century church which is a Grade II listed building.
