TOWNS and villages across Yorkshire have a fortnight to add the finishing touches to floral displays to impress the judges of the regional rounds of this year's Britain in Bloom competition.

The Yorkshire in Bloom adjudicators go on the road on Tuesday, April 2, and will spend the next 17 days scrutinising communities hoping for floral glory and the chance to represent the region at national level next year.

The results of the spring round will be announced on Tuesday, May 14, with summer judging following between Monday, July 8, and Friday, July 26.

Awards are also offered in a number of individual categories, including pubs, restaurants, hotels and businesses and visitor attractions.
