Today marks the final opportunity for visitors to experience the stunning floral displays at St Andrew’s Church in Whissendine, as the annual Flower Festival 2026 draws to a close.
Running throughout the Late Spring Bank Holiday weekend, this year’s theme, "The Power of Flowers," has transformed the historic church into a vibrant tapestry of color, scent, and community creativity.

It is the perfect opportunity for local gardeners and plant enthusiasts to take a piece of the festival home, with a variety of plants available for purchase.
Visitors can also participate in the festival Raffle for a chance to win some fantastic prizes before the event wraps up.
Time: 11:00 am – 5:00 pm
Location: St Andrew’s Church, Whissendine
Admission: Entry is completely free, though donations are gratefully accepted to help support essential church funds.
Refreshments at the Village Hall
After exploring the displays and browsing the plant stall, visitors can head over to the nearby Village Hall, where a warm welcome and a selection of refreshments await. It’s the perfect spot to sit down, enjoy a treat, and chat with fellow attendees.
Whether you are a passionate gardener, a photography enthusiast, or simply looking for a beautiful way to spend the remainder of your Bank Holiday Monday, make sure to visit St Andrew's Church before 5:00 pm today to witness "The Power of Flowers" firsthand.
