Although this year’s Flower Festival cannot take place, the Flower Festival Committee has organised a virtual festival, with colouring and photo competitions.

Full details are on the Flower Festival page on the church website. The closing date for entries is Monday, May 25.

The 2020 Flower Festival was expected to raise around £8,000 net and the loss of the income significantly reduces the amount available to the Governors for the repair and maintenance of the fabric of the building.

The church has set up a crowd-funding page which can be found at: www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/creditonflowerfestival to try and raise an equivalent sum of £8,000.

The church says it would be delighted if anyone could donate to the "Virtual Flower Festival" Appeal, but it also understands the financial challenges at this time.

The church is able to accept Gift Aid donations up to £20 automatically but if anyone wishes to donate more or to donate by BACS or by cheque, please get in touch. For this and any other queries please telephone Stella Stephens, Festivals Co-ordinator on 07960 388198.
