EVENTS
Cranbrook in Bloom Events
We look
forward
to hearing
from all
you keen
volunteers and gardeners
wanting to showcase our
amazing town in 2022 and
beyond.
GARDEN SAFARI ENTRIES
Would you like to include
your garden in the
Cranbrook in Bloom annual
garden safari on 19 June?
We are seeking new
gardens for people to
visit and enjoy during our
annual safari. Small or large,
traditional or quirky. We all
know, that come June, our
current, rather bare looking
gardens, will be full of colour
and bursting with blooms.
Why not share it? Contact
Marian on 07780 526766.
SHOW OFF OUR TOWN!
Cranbrook in Bloom will
be entering the South
and South East in Bloom
competition again this year.
This involves the whole
town, nooks, crannies and
all!
Whilst we do our best to
keep Cranbrook looking full
of colour, help from you
will make the streets clean
and colourful as well. Front
gardens, communal areas
and public spaces are all
considered and judged on
the day in mid-June. Please
help us aim for and achieve
another GOLD award again.
SHOW OFF YOUR
COMMUNITY/
NEIGHBOURHOOD SPACE!
If there is an area in or
around the town that has
been tidied, tended or
planted up by locals please
let us know. There is a SSEIB
competition category that
we would encourage/help
you to enter.
SHOW OFF YOUR FRONT
GARDEN
Cranbrook in Bloom’s front
garden competition will be
judged week commencing 20
June. Please enter. We have
five different categories,
including planters and
wildlife.
Entry forms available from
Pages Newsagents or www.
cranbrookinbloom.co.uk from
30 May or contact Marian on
07780 526766.
FEAST OF FUN
FOR QUEEN’S
JUBILEE DAY
As I write about plans for Cranbrook to
host a street party to celebrate the Queen’s
platinum jubilee, it is Monday February 7,
exactly 70 years ago that she succeeded to
the throne.
It is no surprise to hear that sisters,
Wendy Waters and Julie Sales, are drawing
up a list of events for a fun-packed day of
celebrations to be held in Cranbrook on
Sunday June 5.
Running from 11am to about 5pm, people
can bring their own picnic or buy from the
street food outlets. It is hoped a children’s
entertainer will be keeping everyone in
the party mood and there will be face
painting and hook the duck, as well as other
attractions.
There will be an ice cream seller with
a 1960 traditional work trike. The Box of
Frogs will be playing at the White Horse,
the first at 2pm and then later in the day.
There will also be plenty of popcorn and
candyfloss as well as a big selection of food
and drinks stalls. TF
Cranbrook
Goes Nuts!
Nuts in May is back in
Cranbrook High
Street on Sunday
29 May after a
two- year Covid
absence.
The theme will be
trees and recognising the
Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
Founder Gwenneth Bransby-Zachary
is looking forward to welcoming
exhibitors who reflect the permanent
theme of celebrating “anything that
grows and what you can do with it”.
There will also be a food court and
music, including the ever-popular
cover band Marvellous Mo and the
Backline Ferrets. People who would
like to help on the day are asked to call
Gwenneth on 07721 672348. TF
