A THREE-DAY flower festival will be held in Longtown next month as part of Arthuret Church’s 400th anniversary celebrations.
A programme of events has been running throughout the year to mark the special anniversary and the flower festival has been billed as one of the main attractions.
Local flower clubs have signed up to take part in the event which will be led by well-known Carlisle flower arranger John Dalton. The festival will be held within the church with home-made refreshments on sale in the grounds of Arthuret House.
The event will run from July 3 until July 5 and is open from 10.30am until 8pm on Friday and Saturday and 10.30pm to 4.30pm on Sunday. A closing Sunday service, will be held at 6pm on the final day, with the service taken by retired Arthuret Church Reverend Dr John Hall.
