WONDERFUL floral displays featured in a Flower Festival held over three days at the Church of St Andrew at Colebrooke at the end of September.

Local residents had created the stunning floral arrangements, most around the theme of the festival, “All Good Gifts”.

The sea, wildlife, medical profession, music, about those who had served in various capacities and much more were represented.

The wonderful setting of a church with a stunning interior was a real boost for those who created displays and those who went along.

The festival was a fundraiser for the church and hundreds of pounds was donated, thanks to the generosity of those who went along.

Services are held every Sunday and the church also holds an annual craft fair, dog show, live music and other events.
