Hoylake’s beautiful parish church is
set to become even lovelier this summer when a flower festival is staged in the
historic building.
St Hildeburgh’s will be bedecked with
gorgeous blossoms in no fewer than 30 displays throughout the church. The town’s
World War I memorial, honouring the 168 Hoylake men who died, which stands in St
Hildeburgh's wooded grounds, will also be specially
decorated.
The festival, with the theme of The
Glory of Creation, is to be opened by Esther McVey, MP for Wirral West and
Minister for the Disabled, on the year’s longest day, Friday June 21, and will
continue to Sunday, June 23.
The festival is being widely
supported, with the floral art societies of Wirral, Hoylake, New Brighton and
Heswall joining the members of St Hildeburgh's Ladies’ Guild to create the
arrangements. Themes of the 30 displays will range
from the sublime, entitled Eternity's Sunrise, to the humorous, with Great
British Bake-off.
Festival times
will be: Friday 7-9.30 pm; Saturday 10am-5pm;
Sunday 11am-4pm, followed by Songs of Praise. Refreshments will be
available throughout the event.
St Hildeburgh's Church, Hoylake, is
at the corner of The King’s Gap and Stanley Road (opposite the Green
Lodge).
Tickets will cost £4. For
