Vale Festival of Flowers

Vale of Glamorgan town centres will look blooming lovely this August as the Vale of Glamorgan Council hosts its inaugural Festival of Flowers.

With the aim of helping its high streets ‘bloom’ back to life following the COVID19 pandemic, the Council is hosting the event in a bid to drive footfall into the town centres of Barry, Cowbridge, Llantwit Major and Penarth.

Each town centre will have a flower trail for local residents and visitors to take part in, giving them the chance to win £100 to spend on the high street. Trail maps will be available from traders on the high street, as well as the Visit the Vale website. To take part, participants are required to follow the map to find the flowers in selected shop window, identify what flower it is and fill it in on the entry form.

The festival will also allow traders to showcase their floral offerings during the month, including floral fashion and gifts, floral cocktails and food, and floral inspired beauty treatments.

There will also be a flower installation in each town providing a focal point and photo opportunity for an online social media campaign #BloomingLovelyVTC.
