A COMMUNITY came together on the weekend to enjoy an annual flower bloom in a village near Worcester.

The Wyke Manor Estate in Wick, near Pershore, opens its gate for around ten days each year so people can enjoy the colourful flowers before they are harvested to make confetti.

It opens as long as the flowers bloom.

Mrs Kate Collins, 33, from Rushwick, said: “Im really enjoying it even thought not all of the flowers are in bloom yet.

"I’m glad all the rain we’ve had recently hadn’t ruined the flowers.

"I’d recommend everyone to visit.”

Ian Thomas from Telford, in Shropshire, said: “I’m a keen gardener so I just had to travel here as its only open for a few days each year.

"The colours are so vibrant like a sea of colour."Annette Thomas also from Telford in Shropshire, said: “What a glorious day and looking around everyone is just so relaxing and really caught in the moment.

“Lots of colour and I’ll certainly be back again next year.”

In 1997, farmer Charles Hudson stumbled upon the idea of using real flower confetti for weddings and the idea took off.

The field will accept visitors until Sunday June 30.

It’s been 21 years since farmer Charles Hudson stumbled upon the idea of using real flower confetti for weddings and the idea took off.

Since then The Real Flower Confetti Company’s field at Wick, near Pershore, has become a must-do summer activity for many of you.

Confetti has been around since Pegan times, used at weddings to increase fertility for newly weds and to ward away evil spirits.

Many wedding venues have banned non-organic confetti made from tissue paper as it does not biodegrade.
