Flamborough Goes Potty Over Third Annual Festival

Sunday, 1 June 2025 06:00

The town's annual flowerpot festival has commenced and will run throughout June.

Here's chairperson of the festival, Julie Sanders:

"The people of Flamborough went really potty we had lots of workshops and invited them along to show them how easy it was to make a potty model.

"If you want to come along, the event is free, if you want to find all the models there is a trail map on sale that cost £2. With the trail map there's a free fun quiz for the kids and all kids entering get a free potty badge the trail maps are two pounds and with a trail map you also get the map of Flamborough village, so that ensures that you do not miss any of the potty models.

"This year we think we've got 80 to 100 models but as happens every year more models appear as the festival goes on."

The festival is in its 3rd year and is gaining in popularity in Flamborough and surrounding areas. 

The festival took its inspiration from the Settle Flower Pot Festival and involves residents of Flamborough village going Potty and getting creative with plant pots.

The idea of the event is to promote community spirit and village pride whilst having fun and going Potty in public.

The flowerpot creations can be found all over the village, including on houses and up trees.

Julie added:

"As more people in Flamborough start to go potty so we'd love you to come along we start on the first of June and we officially end on the 30th of June, so if you just fancy a day out with the kids and have some fun and come along you can see what's happening.

"On our Facebook page simply Google Flamborough flower pot festival and you'll see lots of information with photographs and dates of all the things that are happening.

"We hope you want to come along and go potty."
