Prepare for a magical weekend at the 'Disney Flower Festival' at Willow Wood Hospice this weekend.

This year’s theme is ‘Inspired by Disney’, a celebration of 100 years of Disney Animation.

You can expect to see an array of enchanting and whimsical displays that bring your favourite Disney characters to life, with the festival promising to be a visual treat for all ages.

But the festival isn’t just about the floral displays.

There will be plenty of other activities and entertainment to enjoy throughout the weekend. From hand crafted upholstery, greeting cards, wooden garden items to chocolate stalls, there’s something for everyone. And that’s not all!

There will be hanging basket demonstrations on Saturday, Disney song performances by Mike Styan and Friends, also on Saturday, and a Ukulele Band on Sunday.

You can also enjoy delicious sandwiches, cakes, and drinks, including Pimms and Prosecco.

Moreover, the festival is a fundraising event for Willow Wood, a charity that provides care and support to people with life-limiting illnesses.

By attending the festival, you will not only be able to enjoy the stunning floral displays but also contribute to a great cause.

To start the festivities, the Mayor and Mayoress will open the festival at 11am on Saturday. Plus, you can take part in the raffle and win exciting prizes.

Entry is just £3.50 with free admission for children, with the festival starting at 10am on Saturday and 11am on Sunday.
