History
A handful of Churches around the island open their doors all day for
seven days. Within
their doors will be a varied display of flowers and arrangements. All the
churches have attendants and the displays are self guided. Leaflets
about the church and displays within the church are handed out upon entry,
though can run out towards the end of the week. The theme and participating
churches for the festival
change each year. In 2007 the theme is "Freedom to Flourish" and marks the
17th annual Manx Heritage Flower Festival.
Location
Various venues around the island, see yearly leaflet for details. All
the churches are provided with small direction pointing signs as well as
banners for outside the church. Look for these obvious indicators around
the island.
Visiting the Manx Heritage Flower Festival
A wonderful FREE event with varied locations and churches. Old mix with
new and modern with classic. Every church has its own style and presentation
so no venue is like any other. This a great way to see inside all those
wonderful buildings many pass by and wonder about. Photographers are welcomed
and there is even a competition held for the best Flower Festival Photo.
Each church has a collection jar for donations. Some hold special services,
concerts, meals or raffles. See yearly leaflet for further details.
