Petal by Petal: A Tribute in Bloom

A dedicated Petalling Team of local residents, with a passion for tradition and creativity, are hard at work crafting a breathtaking mosaic for this year’s Crosspool Festival. Their design celebrates the bond between people and their beloved pets, capturing the tender moment of animals patiently awaiting their owners’ return.

Using a time-honoured technique, clay is pressed into wooden boards and a design is traced before being brought to life with carefully placed flower petals and natural materials, each one chosen and laid to brave the British weather. It’s a labour of love and a testament to the power of community spirit.

The Crosspool Well Dressing is more than just a beautiful display; it’s a celebration of heritage and a fundraiser for local causes. This year’s event supports Fir Vale Food Bank and The Family Work with every donation, no matter how small it will make a difference.

You’ll find the main display on Sandygate Road at the junction with Watt Lane from the evening of June 27th to July 6th.  The dedication ceremony is scheduled for 6:30 p.m.

Come for the flowers, stay for the spirit and be part of something blooming wonderful.
