A VILLAGE church is to be transformed into a spectacular riot of colour over the bank holiday weekend.

St Mary's Church at Carlton Husthwaite will be the focus for the village's flower festival.

The interior will be decorated on the theme of a Melody of Flowers. Lovaine Irving and other members of the Stokesley Flower Club, have created a floral tribute to music.

Stalls selling plants, preserves, tea, coffee and home-made cakes will be open throughout the festival.

All money raised will be used to preserve the church, which was built in the 17th century. The festival runs from 10am to 4pm today, tomorrow and Monday.
