Last year’s festival was a great success.

If you’re looking for something different to do over the weekend, and fancy an event that’s gentle, genteel and quintessentially British, you could do much worse than visit Hints open gardens and Flower festival, at the pretty little village of Hints, on the old A5 near Tamworth. Find out about it here.

The event is normally held on the bank holiday weekend, but due to the Jubilee it’s been moved forward this year to accommodate.

This year’s event will be on Saturday 25th and Sunday 26th May 2012.

Entrance £3.50,  children free,  parking free,

Open from 11am – 6pm both days.

Delicious refreshments served all day in the village hall.

Gardens are open to view throughout the village

Bee-keeping demonstration

Music from Tamworth’s Amington Band

Plant sale

Flower Festival held in the village church; the theme this year is ’The Olypics’

This year, it seems they’re due good weather for the first time in ages, so why not pop along? You might even bump into BrownhillsBob…
