Overlapping with the flower festival there will be a street party scene display with knitted/crocheted food in St Mary’s Church Surlingham from 27th May to mark the Platinum Jubilee.

If you are a crocheter or knitter or both (a “critter”) it would be lovely if you could donate a plate of “food”.

The food should be lifesize. The overall effect will be a traditional street party scene waiting for hoards of hungry children to arrive.

I can provide patterns but a quick look on the internet will bring up any number.

It would be useful if you could contact me with your idea of what you would like to make so I can curate things a bit; we don’t want hundreds of cupcakes and no sandwiches! 

Afterwards, if you don’t want to take your donation back, I’ll either offer it to various playgroups (it makes great play food) or sell it to raise church funds.

It would be lovely if you could be involved in this enterprise either by donating or popping in to see the display; and I can promise there will be a very senior royal representative!
