Creative Crewkerne

How good town centres look when there is a bit of colour along the high streets! This is what we are aiming for in Crewkerne from 25th September - 28th October, we'd love to fill all 88 flagpole holders across the town! We already have over 25 organizations, schools, businesses, artists and groups creating flags reflecting the amazing heritage and creativity of our town... could your business or group be one of them? Get in touch with [email protected] and help us to make this happen for our amazing town. ❤️
