Since its inception as a Flower Festival in the 1970's with an ever-increasing programme of events, Fladbury villagers have proudly welcomed thousands of visitors (and locals) each year to share their "hidden treasures". The theme of the flower festival displays in the church this year is "Anniversaries"
With its village green and two traditional hostelries Fladbury embraces one of the most picturesque stretches of river in the country which can be seen to best advantage from a boat trip or by taking the wire ferry over to the mill and lock. Take a ride on a horse drawn cart or relax and enjoy the street entertainments. There will be something to delight all ages and tastes.
However you choose to spend the day you will be helping to raise valuable funds to maintain the fabric of our historic village churches and helping local charities.
