A FLOWER show celebrating the best of Britain has raised nearly £3,000 for charity.
The Crowthorne Flower Festival took place at St John’s Church from Saturday, July 9, to Monday July 11, with all proceeds going to Sebastian’s Action Trust.
The charity offers a wide range of support to families of children with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions.
As well as the floral displays, there was a number of exhibitions from Crowthorne Crafts, North Downs Lacemakers and Wokingham Embroiderers’ Guild.
Alison Vacher, of the Crowthorne Flower Festival Committee, said: “It was a very good weekend with lots of people attending and to raise around £3,000 for charity is great.
“The schools put in a lot of work as do all the local groups that make it such a fantastic community event.”
Although the festival is every two years, planning will start for the next one much sooner.
“We will start thinking about it in March next year to ensure everything is planned,” said Ms Vacher.
“We also need a good 18 months of fundraising to make sure the event’s costs are covered.”
