Festival of Angels at All Saints Church, Flore – 19th to 23rd December 2025
To celebrate the magic of Christmas, the Parish Church in Flore, Northamptonshire, will be transformed into a setting for a host of angels lovingly crafted and created by over 30 groups and individuals.
The idea for the festival came from a visit made to a small church in Wales where a number of professionally made Angels were being exhibited.
The inspiration was that as Flore is a creative community wouldn’t it be a great idea to invite groups to make and exhibit whilst raising funds for the village primary school. The response has been phenomenal, and Angels are currently being crafted throughout the community.
The Groups involved include the primary school where the pupils are making their own Angel display; the Scouts, Guides, Cubs, Beavers and Rainbows; WI; Art Club; and Bell ringers to name a few. There are many styles, and a huge variety of mediums used from Crochet, sculpture, watercolour to name a few. The Angels themselves will be free standing, wall mounted and indeed hanging. There are many talented individuals whose Angels will be presented.
The festival will be held from the evening of the 19th, where there is a ticketed preview evening (including a glass of wine and nibbles). Tickets are available from Rosemary Read 01327 341026 (call during daytime only) or directly from the Re Store, 2a Sutton Street, Flore. The Festival continues on the 20th to 23rd December 11.30am to 3.00pm. Entry is free but donations welcome where tea, coffee and cake will be available.
