Published Date:

SWAFFHAM'S St Peter and St Paul's Church has been transformed into a spectacle of colour and beauty for its biennial flower festival this bank holiday weekend.
Planet Earth is the theme of this year's event, which opens today and runs until Monday, and there will be 36 floral arrangements on display throughout the church.
Pam Hopping, chairman of the church's flower group, said the arrangements interpret the theme in many different ways, including Living Spaces, Mountains and Lakes, Oceans and Deserts, Wonders and Discoveries, The Weather and Volcanoes and Earthquakes.
The festival is open from 10am to 5pm today, tomorrow and Monday, and from 2pm to 5pm on Sunday. Admission is by the £1 programme and the money raised goes to church funds.
Mrs Hopping said: "A lot of preparation and work goes into these festivals which is why we do them every other year." Morning coffee, light lunches and afternoon teas will be available. On Sunday, there will be the usual morning services and songs of praise at 6pm.
