FLOWERS, crafts, food and music will come together in a massive £5,000 festival to be staged in Bury Parish Church this June.

Many local flower clubs are involved under the direction of international demonstrator Gerry Reid.

And organising secretary John Tovey with the Miller Howe Hotel in Windemere and Bury Catering College will provide the catering.

Parishioners are helping the venture at which there will be a variety of musical entertainment including a grand concert on the Saturday evening (the event starts Friday June 14).

The church bells will peal during the festival and the Council are helping by smartening up part of The Rock near the church.
