Tractors, sheepdogs and scarecrows will take centre stage at a countryside celebration of farming and floristry.
The Farming & Flowers Open Farm Weekend returns to Euston Estate on June 6 and 7, promising a packed programme of activities, demonstrations and displays for all ages to enjoy.
Set within the grounds of St Genevieve Parish Church, the event will honour the 350th anniversary of the church with a special flower festival.
Floral arrangements inspired by the history of the FitzRoy family and the Dukes of Grafton will fill the church, designed and created by skilled arrangers from nearby.
There’s plenty for visitors to enjoy throughout the weekend, including homemade cakes, teas and refreshments, a selection of food vendors, and a range of farming activities.
One of the main attractions is the Euston Scarecrow Competition.
Entries will be displayed around Euston Village Green, with judging taking place at 3pm on Sunday.
Families can climb aboard tractor and trailer rides led by the Euston Estate farm manager, offering a scenic tour of the estate.
Rides include the chance to meet farm animals and learn more about day-to-day life on a working farm.
Sheepdog trials will take place on Saturday, alongside a Massey Ferguson tractor run featuring around 200 tractors gathered for visitors to view.
Canon Sally Fogden, one of the event organisers, said: "We warmly invite everyone to come and experience this community event.
"Enjoy the talented flower arrangers as we celebrate 350 years of St Genevieve’s Church, learn more about Euston and the farm activities, and relax with a wonderful family day out."
Entry is £2 per car, which includes an event programme and free parking.
All profits raised will support St Genevieve’s Church, Euston.
Organisers have expressed thanks to the Duke and Duchess of Grafton for their continued support.
