A WORLD-CLASS festival of flowers is set to bloom around Coughton Court in Alcester from Tuesday, July 9 to Sunday, July 14.

More than 70 arrangers, including medallists from the World Flower Show and Chelsea, will create classic and modern displays using the Tudor home as inspiration.

Blooms from the estate's gardens will be used and there are plans to create the Throckmorton family coat of arms from seed as a permanent display at the entrance.
