ST Michael's Church in Chagford will celebrate the 750th anniversary since its consecration in 1261 by Bishop Bronscombe of Exeter with a spectacular flower festival.

From Friday July 15 to Sunday July 17, the church will be adorned with around 40 floral displays depicting important events in the church's long history. The arrangements will be created by local groups, organisations and other churches in the area.

Alongside the floral displays there will be a range of activities to ensure a memorable visit to the flower festival. On July 16 the church will hold an evening concert of music and poetry depicting the nine centuries of the church's history.

Jubilee Hall will play host to an exhibition of artwork by children from Chagford Primary School. In Endecott House there will be a craft sale.

Throughout the weekend there will be a raffle with special prizes and refreshments available at the Jubilee Hall. The weekend's events will come to a close at 6pm on Sunday, with evensong in the church.
