Corby Floral Fest is a contemporary floral
art exhibition that will be held from Friday
14th October through Sunday 16th October
from 11am to 3.30pm. The exhibition will
be staged in the Main Hall at the Kingswood
Neighbourhood Centre, Alberta Close, Corby
NN18 9HU. All the exhibits will be staged by
Corby & District Flower Club, members of the
community as well as a local artist to create
a centrepiece. The club is a member of the
South Midlands Area of NAFAS (National
Association of Flower Arranging Societies),
which is an educational charity. Corby & District
Flower Club secured funding from Made In
Corby and Arts Council England to hold Corby
Floral Fest and the members hope that lots of
people will come along, see the exhibition and
have a go at the floral art taster sessions and
demonstrations. There is free admission and
on-site parking, with refreshments available
and stalls.

As part of Floral Fest, the Club has secured
three big names in the world of floral art who will
be holding workshops, talks or demonstrations
during the event. On Thursday 13th October
at 10am, Mig Kimpton will be holding a Day
School at the Neighbourhood Centre,
places for this are limited and can

Saturday 15th October at 8pm, Sean
Murray, who took part in the BBC TV
programme ‘The Chelsea Garden
Challenge’ and who went on to design
a garden at the 2015 Chelsea Flower
Show, will be giving a talk on that experience
followed by a question and answer session
for any budding designers. On Monday 17th
October at 7.45pm and to close the event,
Jonathan Moseley, who you may know from
the BBC TV programmes ‘The Allotment
Challenge’ and ‘Chatsworth’ will present a floral
