All Saints Church in Sutton will be a sea of colour when the annual flower festival returns.
The event will be held on June 30 and July 1, with a theme being a night at the theatre.
Entry to the festival is free, although any donations are gratefully accepted, and refreshments will be available from a variety of stalls in the garden opposite the church.
Local artwork will also be exhibited at the event.
Doors open at 10am and close at 5pm on both days.
The popular Sutton duck race will also be held on the Sunday at the ancient Packhorse bridge and ford.
Racing starts at 3pm and tickets to sponsor a duck cost £2. The winner will take home £150, with £50 and £25 for second and third place.
