The last time there was a Flower Festival in Bloxham was for the Millennium. 25 years later St. Mary’s Church will be hosting a flower festival over the weekend of the 12th and 13th July with a theme of Sustainability and Caring for our World.
Village groups, organisations and our schools will be providing a range of innovative and interesting floral displays each interpreting the theme in their own way.
In addition to floral displays throughout the weekend there will be live music from our schools and local musicians, a quarter peal of bell ringing, plant stall, raffle, refreshments and bell ringing and lace making displays. For younger people there will be craft activities and a treasure hunt.
On Saturday evening there will be a talk “British Wild Flowers” by Peter Sheasby with wine and canapes followed by a quiz for tables of 4-6 people. Tickets for this event are £10 available in advance from stmarysbloxhamevents@gmail.com or during the day.
The festival will conclude on the Sunday at 5pm with a festival Songs of Praise with hymns voted for by the local community.
It’s not too late to get involved. If you would like to contribute a display please contact us using the above e-mail address.
This will be a joyous event with something for everyone!
