The 2018 Festival has the intriguing title ‘In Our Element’ and runs from 10.30am on Saturday 2nd June until 5 pm on Thursday 7th June.
Work towards the 2018 Flower Festival began as soon as the 2017 Festival ended. The title of the last Festival was ‘What’s the Point’, and a big talking point was a rhino in the church.

This year’s series of services will culminate at Exeter Cathedral on Sunday, 17 December. Hospiscare’s Karen Turner said: “Everyone is invited to attend...
