Flower Festival at St. Peter’s / Choral Evensong

A wonderful weekend

Leicester Cathedral Choir sang at St. Peter’s Church for a full Choral Evensong on Sunday 2nd  July to mark the Festival of St. Petertide and to close a wonderful weekend of flowers, cakes and smiles.

The service was lead by Canon Philip Norwood, a longtime friend of our local
churches. Canon Philip has been part of our spiritual life, preaching and leading
worship over the years at Church, Tur and more recently Thorpe Langton. His voice was a joy to hear again.

Flower Festival

Our flower arranging team and many other volunteers, friends and family brought flowers and accessories to fill the church with summer!

From Wimbledon to the Tour de France, the seaside to the countryside, afternoon teas, garden to allotment, wildlife, bees and birds – All aspects of summer life were reflected in the displays. The displays took us from home to abroad, even to the gardens of South Africa – A world trip in flowers!

It was amazing! Incredible ingenuity and imagination in every part of the church.

Fundraising THANK YOU
