in the Community of Popley

This was one of the most exciting events held at St. Gabriel's in recent years.

July 4th, 5th and 6th saw the Church transformed into a mass of colour by a variety of flower arrangers - including our Vicar. There were arrangements by other local Churches, Groups who use the Church Hall and other Community Groups as well as posters produced by the local schools.

The Flower Festival was opened by Bishop Trevor's wife on Friday 4th July at 12 midday.

On Sunday 6th July there was a Eucharist in the Church Hall and a Special "Songs of Praise" at 6.30pm to round off the Festival Weekend.
