Hospital Flower Festival

Patients, visitors and staff at the West Suffolk Hospital will be able to enjoy floral displays created by staff and volunteers at a special Hospital Flower Festival.

The 'Celebration of Flowers' is to be held in the West Suffolk Hospital's chapel from Saturday 10 June until Friday 13 June.

"Staff and members of the public have often commented on the flower displays in the chapel which bring so much pleasure to people," said the Reverend David Crawley, Head of Chaplaincy Services.

"This gave us the idea of using the chapel for our own flower festival. invitations were sent out to our talented volunteer ladies and staff and13 floral arrangements have been promised. I hopepeople in the hospital will come along and enjoy the wonderful sights and scents this celebration of flowers will create," he said.

An invitation to the festival has been extended to the residents of Cornwallis Court and North Court Nursing Home in Bury St Edmunds.
