ST ANDREW’S CHURCH : FLOWER AND CRAFTS FESTIVAL WITH AFTERNOON CREAM TEAS : THANK YOU FOR THE MUSIC : SATURDAY 7 – SUNDAY 8 JUNE 2025 : 1-5PM
The St Andrew’s Church Flower Guild is hosting a flower festival with the theme of “Thank you for the Music” on Saturday 7 June and Sunday 8 June 2025, in conjunction with Chinnor Open Gardens.
The church will be decorated with flowers depicting “Thank for the Music” from all decades for all age groups. In addition, the church has invited several artists and crafters to share their skills during the flower festival in the church. There will also be a produce stall selling jams, cakes, crafts, etc and a plant stall – any donations towards the produce stall will be gratefully received closer to the date of the festival. Please note no bric-a-brac.
In addition to the artists and crafters, there will be a willow crafter outside in the churchyard creating willow dragonflies and dream catchers for children. Children can make mini clay thumb pots to be taken home to dry.
Cream teas will be sold on both afternoons of the festival. This year’s festival will again host tours of the bell tower on both days.
Suggested donation of £2.00 at the door will be gratefully received. The funds raised during this Flower and Crafts Festival will go towards the ongoing care and maintenance of St Andrew’s Church. St Andrew’s Church is in the heart of Chinnor and beloved by locals and visitors alike. The building is used by the community, for the community.
Opening times: Saturday 7 June and Sunday 8 June: 1pm- 5pm
Bell Tower: Saturday 7 June and Sunday 8 June : 2-4pm
