Hundreds flock to Fladbury for walkabout in the sun

Lise Evans 4 hours ago   0

A WEEKEND of summer sunshine helped bring out the crowds to Fladbury last week for the annual walkabout.

What started as a humble flower festival in 1970 has morphed over the years into a village-wide event with a fun dog show, display of classic cars, art exhibition, bell tower tours and live music on the green.

Open gardens, river tours, a fun run, plus a plethora of community stalls and food vendors provided plenty of entertainment for young and old.

Organiser Martin Blackwell said: “It was a fantastic weekend. The weather was kind to us for a change, and plenty for everyone to see and do, especially with the additional stalls this year along Church Street.

“The flower and art displays in St John the Baptist beautifully complemented each other and were amazing.

“These events only happen with the hard work of the committee with the support of the volunteers – a lot of whom work in the background and are not seen.




All monies raised will be distributed to local good causes.
