Thank you to everyone that attended Creaton in Bloom yesterday. We were lucky with the weather in that the rain held off, but unlucky in that the high winds sadly led to the cancellation of the planned flypast of the Spitfire.

Thanks of course to all the homeowners and gardeners who are the beating heart of the event, including some who opened their gardens for the first time this year.

Thanks also to the stallholders and sponsors who support the event, and also to the many volunteers without whom the event wouldn't be possible.

We'll be sharing some pictures across the week, beginning here with some taken at The Green

As well as showcasing some fabulous gardens and having a great village day out, Creaton in Bloom is also a charitable event and every £ of surplus is put back in to local causes. Last year we raised over £8,900!

The money we raise is used principally to maintain the fabric and building of St Michael and All Angels church, but other organisations receiving donations include Creaton Playing Field, The United Reformed Church Creaton, Creaton Village Hall, Creaton WI and Ducklings - all of whom play a huge part in the success of the event.
