Coldridge Fete Flower Festival 2018
Wildlife Around Us
Fete Day was so special with a wonderful atmosphere and everyone having fun together. The Church was a slightly cooler place to be but only just in the heatwave.
Thank you so much to everyone who came along to do flowers, for your fantastic arrangements and for helping to make Thursday and Friday fun-filled days too. It was a lot of work but well worth it, and we did our best to keep the flowers going as long as we could.
One thing that was so special this year was that flowers were done by the very youngest toddlers to the over-nineties, and everyone in between, so well done for a real community effort. The donations we received towards Fete funds were more than ever so that tops things off very well.
