Not long now until the wonderful Lilley Flower Festival in full bloom for Bank holiday weekend
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.
