VISITORS are to be treated to a blooming lovely sight at a Women's Institute flower festival this weekend.

There will be plants and flowers galore at the North Yorkshire East Federation of the WI's festival, entitled Life In A Country House.

The event at Sutton Park, Sutton-on-the-Forest is to celebrate the federation's 20th anniversary.

The spectacular floral displays can be viewed during the opening of the house and gardens tomorrow and Sunday, from 11.30am to 5pm. Admission will be £6.

The flower arrangements, created by WI members from all over the area, will be situated throughout the house, which belongs to Sir Reginald and Lady Sheffield.
