Entries have opened for this summer’s Felixstowe in Flower competitions – and organisers are hoping for a bumper crop for judges to assess.

The categories include classes for private front gardens both large and small, and commercial premises, residential homes, guest houses and hotels, and pubs.

There is also a tallest sunflower event for children.

The town council is also seeking sponsors for the hanging baskets, saddleboxes and tubs which form a floral trail through the town to the seafront.

Baskets are £50 while tubs and troughs are £65 each.

The event will be launched formally at the canopy on the Triangle, Saturday, June 23, from 10am to noon, where full details of how to enter all competitions and get involved with sponsorship will be available.

Alternatively, people can contact Felixstowe Town Hall, Undercliff Road West, call 01394 282086 or email sue.faversham@felixstowe.gov.uk
