Spalding
is famous for being the market garden of England. Its fields supply shops and
supermarkets with home grown produce. Spring in Spalding offers bulb field attractions
to rival those in Holland. There is an annual flower festival with a flower
parade at the end of April. The flower heads discarded by the growers are used
to produce fantastic colourful floats. A flower queen is chosen to grace a float
with her attendants. The parade is accompanied by marching bands, vintage bikes
and various activities to provide a spring spectacular for visitors to Spalding.
Local people use this unflux of visitors to sell their own plants by the roadside
and a good time is had by all. Please click on any cottages or self-catering
accommodation shown below to find somewhere to stay close to Spalding for the
Spalding Flower Festival, or indeed trips and short breaks at other times of
year.
