Willow Wood Hospice’s flower festival blooms again

THE MUCH-anticipated Flower Festival returns to Willow Wood Hospice in 2024 for the seventh year, on Saturday 11th and Sunday 12th May. 

Guided by a dedicated committee comprising Eileen Smith, Ann Fee, Sheila Redfern, Christine Lucas, Pauline Giblin, Judith Scott, Bernice Woodward and Lorraine Vaughton, this cherished annual event promises to be as vibrant as ever.

This year’s festival holds special significance as it commemorates 25 years of compassionate care for patients from our local community. Under the theme of ‘all things Willow Wood’, the festival aims to honour this milestone.

Throughout the weekend, visitors can immerse themselves in captivating displays crafted by both individuals and groups. These exhibits will pay homage to past events while also highlighting various departments and services offered by the Hospice.

Attendees will have the opportunity to purchase the showcased displays, adding a touch of beauty to their homes while making a difference to patients in our care. Additionally, guests can indulge in a glass of prosecco as they leisurely explore the stunning exhibits and bask in the serenity of the Hospice’s picturesque gardens.

Entry will be £3.50, with proceeds going to Willow Wood Hospice.

Parking is available at the Hospice and light refreshments will be available including soft and alcoholic drinks.
