A flower festival to raise money for a church will take place next month.

The event, which will also feature arts and crafts, is being organised by Silsden Methodist Church and Steeton Flower Club to boost the church’s building fund.

The theme will be “From old to new”.

There will be displays of work produced by the local art group, along with photographs depicting old Silsden.

The festival will open at the church on Friday, July 10. Tickets for the opening event, costing £5, are available in advance from the church or by phoning 01535 658522.

On Saturday, July 11, the festival will run from 10am to 6pm and on the Sunday from 1-5pm. Tickets will be available on the door, priced £3, with children under 12 admitted free. Refreshments will be on sale both days.

The final day will conclude with a church service from 6-7pm and an auction of all the floral displays.
