Uppingham Secures Gold and Tops Small Town Category in East Midlands in Bloom Awards
Uppingham is celebrating a sensational horticultural triumph after Uppingham in Bloom clinched a prestigious Gold award at the East Midlands in Bloom competition, while also taking the top spot in the small town category with the highest number of points.
The exciting news was announced yesterday afternoon at the official awards ceremony held in Ockbrook, Derbyshire, crowning months of hard work, community dedication, and stunning floral displays across the town.
This latest accolade adds another proud chapter to a long-standing community tradition. The initiative first sprouted back in 1983, when just three local traders decided to brighten up the streetscape by placing flowers outside their premises. The idea quickly blossomed into a community-wide movement, leading to the formation of an official committee in 1988 and their very first entry into the annual regional competition. Decades later, that initial spark of creativity continues to yield spectacular results, driven by passionate volunteers and local supporters.
Whether you are a local resident, business owner, or visitor, Uppingham's vibrant floral displays have once again put the town firmly on the map as a beacon of community spirit and environmental pride.
