It’s daffodil season! This weekend will see All Saints Church and Hall bedecked in the glorious colours of daffodils and a range of Spring flowers. Come and learn about growing, breeding and showing daffodils with local breeder Owen Davies or enter one of the many community classes in the show. All are welcome and entry is free.

You can also book a tour of the church with Duncan Foster (Stonemason) or Gavin Merrington (Stained Glass restorer) and view a display of stained glass, as we begin the painstaking task of repairing the heritage windows in the church.

Friends and visitors, young and old, are encouraged to enter Community Classes which range from a simple arrangement of garden flowers in a vase to photography, original artwork and colouring in for all ages. Budding artists are encouraged to either colour in an original a line drawing by Rod Barwick or create their own original work. Prizes will be awarded for winning entries in all Community and Standard classes.

The vase theme for this year’s show is ‘retro-glassware and early bakelite/plastic’. The distinctive orange, mustard and cream colour scheme of the 60’s forms a stunning counterpoint to the yellow array of daffodils.

So dust off your old vases, pick some flowers from your garden and arrange them at the show. All Community Classes will be judged at 3pm on Sunday 16 September, enabling potential exhibitors to lodge their entries over the entire weekend.

Entertainment includes Ethereal Celtic Harps, playing from 10am in the garden on Saturday. From 12.30pm The Old Time String Band will perform. On Sunday a string quartet will give a recital at 3pm in the church. All Saints organists will play the church organ at regular intervals over the weekend.

Kids will enjoy the face painter and refreshments will be available in the gardens on both days. The Jesse Tree (All Saints Op Shop) will also be open during the show along with a Garden Market on both Saturday and Sunday.

The show will be open to the public on Saturday 15 from 10- 4 and Sunday 16 from midday to 4pm.
