This year, as well as being able to buy plants, handmade posies will also be being made, so if you have any flowers or foliage after making your exhibits, please bring them along.

And if that wasn’t enough for one weekend, there is Pett Piranhas Peculiar Picnic in the marquee on the Sunday. A fund-raising event for both POPPs and the new pavilion project, there will be a sit-down 2-course lunch with nibbles to start. A drink is also included in the ticket price of £10 for adults and £6 for children under 12. The event will be licensed with further drinks available and there will also be an auction and a raffle.

The organisers hope to see as many friends, families and locals as possible but places will need to be limited to cater for everyone. So please contact Stuart on 815197 for tickets.
