Cleobury Mortimer prepares for festival
Residents of a south Shropshire town are preparing for a festival.
The event will be held in Cleobury Mortimer on Saturday.
Students from Lacon Childe School along with art teacher David Barker have been crafting flowers from recycled materials for a community art project, a waterfall of flowers from a window in St Mary's Church.
Festival visitors will also be able to have a go and make a flower to be included in the installation.
Other attractions on the day will include a dog show, a climbing wall and a West Midlands Search and Rescue Demonstration.
There will be displays of dance, drama and martial arts and musical performances from the town’s Sing Laughe Breathe choir and Cleobury Mortimer Concert Brass.
The town’s craftspeople will be out in force - its potters and painters and jewellery makers, with items to buy and the opportunity to have a go.
Mawley Town Farm will be open from 12noon to 3pm.
There will be guided walks to the farm from the town, or free shuttle buses, and refreshments will be available throughout the day in all the major festival venues.
The festival runs from 11am to 4pm on June 23.
