Flower Festival St Leonard's 27-29th Aug
There will be a flower festival in St Leonard's Church, Bengeo on the bank holiday weekend open Sat 27th, Sun 28th and Mon 29th each day from 10am to 5 pm.
It is being held to help raise funds for the toilet facilities that are planned for the church. As it is grade 1 listed and Hertford's oldest building it is not a cheap job so the more we can raise the better.
Admission is free but we hope that when you see all the effort that has gone in you will give generously!
There will be a programme with all the readings from the King James Bible that the 17 arrangements depict, the theme is the 400th anniversary of the publication of the King James Version.

It was fantastic! I am not a gardener but to see inside St Leonards church and also the uncovering of frescoes on the walls from Norman Times... wow.. I was gobsmacked.. It was a wonderful display, done by local neighbours and such a great way to spend a rather dull weekend weather-wise.. Well done to all who spent 9 months getting it all together.. truly wonderful.... [:D]
