Community groups, local businesses and associations are all being encouraged to take part in this year’s Holbeach Flower Festival.
The event runs from Thursday, April 27, until Monday, May 1, and organisers are hoping that as many people as possible will get involved in the community project.
This year’s theme will be Noah’s Ark which organisers hope will have a wide ranging appeal to adults, children, schools and children’s groups as well as visitors.
As well as themed flower displays and free-standing flower arrangements, organisers are inviting hobby crafters and demonstrators to have stalls in All Saints’ Church.
There will be market stalls in the churchyard and along Church Street on the Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
Organisers are also planning on adding a variety of musical entertainment in the church this year as well as the usual family fun day in the churchyard on the Bank Holiday Monday.
They also hope to be able to cater for booked coach parties in the Reading Rooms on the Saturday, Sunday and Monday and provide a roast dinner on the Sunday.
On the Sunday, in keeping with the theme, organisers are planning on holding a pets service at the end of the day rather than an evening Songs of Praise.
Individuals and businesses are also being invited to sponsor a display. All sponsorship will be acknowledged in the Flower Festival guide.
