Flowers and Fairy Tales July is a very busy time in the life of St Mary Magdalene Church in Littleton. Not only is it a popular time for summer weddings, it's also the time of the annual Flower Festival. Masterminded by Dot Hogan and Zandra Ceaser, (for more years than they will admit to), the Flower Festival is a beautiful and fragrant celebration of summer. Each year the Festival has a theme. Over the past few years, themes have included ' Films', 'Nursery Rhymes', 'Favourite Hymns', 'Olympics' and 'The Borough of Spelthorne', this year the theme is 'Fairy Tales'. Arrangements are made up by members of the church, other churches and some local businesses. Every surface, nook and cranny will be filled with flowers. It's amazing how people's imaginations work, and how props are incorporated into the arrangements to represent the theme. It's fun to try to guess the subject before looking at the tag The Festival starts on Friday 22nd July through to Monday 25th July and is open from 9am to 6pm. Entry is free, all we ask is that you enjoy the flowers. This is a rare opportunity is look around this beautiful Norman church, which is situated on Squires Bridge Road, close to Shepperton Studios. If you visit on the Saturday afternoon, you can take the opportunity to stroll across to the Rectory Garden to have a delicious Strawberry Tea. There will be cover in case of bad weather, and there will also be supervised activities for the children. Jill Greenwood
