Community Art Blooms At Harborough Market

Over 1,400 crocheted and knitted flowers are brightening up Harborough Market in a colourful community display this spring.

The handcrafted flower garden installation has been created over the past four months by a team of more than 50 makers, led by Chloe Goode from the Craft-I-Trims stall.

The display above the Market Café is raising money for new equipment for the town’s volunteer litter pickers, the Harborough Litter Wombles, with collection boxes in place across the market and visitors encouraged to support the fundraiser.
