Flower festival adds some food for thought in Climping
The village's regular open gardens event and scarecrow celebration is being joined this year for the first time by a food and craft festival.
Adding to the colour and interest will be a flower festival in the village's St Mary's Church.
The fun will take place throughout June 14 and 15.

The scarecrows will be congregating at the church hall at 11am on June 14. Everyone is invited to take part. Plenty to tempt the tastebuds will be on show in a marquee in the village hall grounds during the weekend.
At least 25 stalls selling food and craft have been booked. There will also be plenty of entertainment activities for the whole family.
They include an exhibition of classic cars and motor bikes, a food trail and cookery demonstrations. Entry is 2.50 or 5 for a family.
