All are welcome to join .... please wear something green and yellow! There will be a giant Green Man and a life-size Broom Flower walking with us with headdresses for children to wear.


On Martin's Hill, by the War Memorial, there will be speeches, a display, some music and activities...but mostly we'll be there to admire and celebrate the spectacular flowering of the broom!
