Celebrate Felixstowe in Flower

First introduced by Felixstowe Town Council in 1985, the Felixstowe in Flower scheme has been transforming our town with vibrant floral displays every summer. From small beginnings – starting with just 60 hanging baskets sponsored by local firms – it has blossomed into a comprehensive, community-wide initiative.

As we celebrate the incredible legacy of this scheme, we need your support to make this year the most spectacular yet. Whether you are a seasoned gardener or a complete beginner, there are plenty of ways to get involved!

How to Get Involved

1. Sponsor a Visual Display

Enhance the town’s beauty whilst promoting your business or remembering a loved one. The Felixstowe Town Council Grounds Team will expertly plant and care for your display daily.

• Business Sponsorship: Sponsor a tub, basket, or trough located in high-footfall areas such as Hamilton Road, Walton High Street, and Sea Road. Your display will feature a prominent plaque displaying your business name and logo.

• In Memoriam: Sponsor a beautiful basket in memory of a loved one, adorned with a dedicated name plaque.

A Year-Round Community Effort

Though the town bursts into colour during the summer, Felixstowe in Flower is a year-round dedication. Planning begins in the winter months to prepare for spring planting.

Following the summer displays, the scheme culminates in the prestigious Felixstowe in Flower Awards Ceremony in the autumn. Attended by around 200 people of all ages and backgrounds, this illustrious event honours our competition winners and celebrates the wonderful civic contribution made by so many.
