What’s on in York: Flower Festival at Fairfax House in Bloom

Flower Festival (2)Fairfax House 

Tue 3 Jul – Sun 8 Jul 

10.00am – 5.00pm 

Free as part of admission to Fairfax House

For 2018, Fairfax in Bloom will be inspired by the extraordinary genius of Grinling Gibbons.

Taking inspiration from the ‘Michaelangelo of Wood’s’ carvings and sculptures, floral designers from Acomb Flower Guild will be creating displays that pay homage to the hallmarks, motifs and designs of Gibbons’ artworks.

Our guest designers will also capture the essence of the Georgians’ love of horticulture and fascination with the natural world, translating it through flowers, fruit and foliage to create floral artworks that mantle the period interiors of Fairfax House with a riot of colour.
