Hexham Abbey Flower Festival 

July 2024

As part of the celebrations to mark the1350th Anniversary of Hexham Abbey a Flower Festival was held at the Abbey between 26th -28th July 2024. The theme of the festival was a celebration of Northern Saints, of which there are many, perhaps the most well known being St Cuthbert..

Many teams of flower arrangers and helpers from Flower Clubs and Parish Flower Teams across the region participated, creating some very beautiful and inspirational displays with each organisation representing a Northern Saint. A number of the saints celebrated had a close connection with the Abbey.

In the beautiful and peaceful setting of the Abbey this festival reminds us of our extraordinary heritage. In the programme welcome Rev'd Canon David Glover's words are:

' We celebrate the past that we might find inspiration for the future'
