The Crediton Parish Church Flower Festival is one of the main fundraising events for the upkeep of Holy Cross and many people from our parishes work to make it a very special and memorable week.

This year’s festival has the intriguing title ‘What’s the Point…’ and runs from 10.30am on Saturday 3rd June until 5 pm on Thursday 8th June.

Work towards this years’ Flower Festival began as soon as last years’ Festival ended.

The title of last years’ Festival was ‘Outside the Box’, and a big talking point was a car in the church. This 1927 Austin was subsequently decorated with flowers and the unusual sight of the car entering the church can be viewed via a video on Crediton Flower Festival Facebook page.

Other photos are also on the Facebook page, with a few photos copied here to whet your appetite.

If you wish to see the fruits of a years’ planning and the skills of local flower arrangers working to the brief ‘What’s the Point…’ then why not make a date for your diary to come to the Crediton Parish Church Flower Festival.
