These are some of the events in a typical Bloom year.
There are regular meetings for our own group and with partnership organisations in order to plan joint working ventures.
The town also hosts many events throughout the year such as Goths Weeks, Music & Literary festivals, Folk festivals, Regatta Weekend etc. There are parades and firework displays and shows of all sorts.
There is ALWAYS something active with a horticultural connection going on in Whitby. Sometimes we even sit and enjoy our gardens with friends & neighbours !
