Deerhurst Flower Festival
The Deerhurst Flower Festival takes place every other year over the August Bank Holiday weekend.
The next Flower Festival will be held on the weekend of 25th/26th/27th August 2018
The 2016 Flower Festival was an enormous success. People came from far and wide to visit the Festival. The church of St. Mary was filled with incredible flower displays based on the theme "The Silver Screen". The weather was kind, and people were able to enjoy lunches and teas on the Priory lawn and browsing amongst the wide range of stalls selling crafts, flowers , books and other things of interest, many of them made by local people. The profits from the Flower Festival went towards the running of Deerhurst and Apperley churches.
The Vikings are Coming! 2016 was a special year for Deerhurst because it was the 1000th anniversary of the meeting between King Canute of Denmark and Edmund Ironside of England who met near Deerhurst and divided up England between them. We celebrated the event with a replica Viking Longship which was placed in the churchyard and decorated with flowers.
