About the Diocese
Flower Festivals


... across the Diocese of Derby

Many Christians celebrate and communicate about their faith through the glory of flowers. Every year, Anglican churches all over Derbyshire host flower festivals, and posters are circulated at the end of March to all churches for display on their noticeboards.
