THE ANCIENT church of St Mary’s in the picture-postcard beauty spot of Lasting - ham, is to be the setting for a unique flower festival, recreating Noah and his Ark.

The planning of the event, from July 10 to 19 next year, is already well under way at the near-thousand-year-old church.

Anyone interested in helping with the festival is asked to contact Anne Procope on 01751 431309
