Sunnycroft Flower Festival
This summer, Sunnycroft hosts its first Flower Festival, with each room in the house featuring a unique floral display inspired by local stories and heritage.
- Booking essential
Created by skilled local arrangers, the displays reflect themes from Telford’s industrial roots to Victorian life, royal craftsmanship, and scientific breakthroughs.
As you explore the house, you’ll find flowers used to represent everything from steam trains and Coalport China to brewing hops and the discovery of digitalis by local herbalist William Withering. Other displays highlight Much Wenlock’s Olympic legacy and the tradition of royal embroidery.
The festival also celebrates Sunnycroft’s own history. Once home to Mary Jane Slaney, a keen flower show exhibitor, the event continues her passion for flowers and storytelling.
