THE MINSTER
FL WER FESTIVAL
One of the highlights of the Minster’s 900th anniversary celebrations was to be the Flower Festival, due to take place in September. Due to the pandemic, the lockdown, and the knock-on effect, we have had to make the very difficult decision to postpone the event. It is likely that the event will not be held until 2022; the weekend of 2nd to 5th September that year has been reserved in the Minster diary but do watch this space in case of any changes. There could well be other celebrations in 2022; all being well it will be Her Majesty The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. We are sure that many will remember the Flower Festivals we held to mark the Queen’s Golden (2002) and Diamond (2012) Jubilees. The publication of the 900th anniversary commemorative brochure remains on hold.
