Town hall celebrates 125 years with floral glow-up

Lynton Town Hall is celebrating its 125th anniversary in spectacular style.

To mark the milestone, the community of Lynton and Lynmouth, in north Devon, has transformed the town hall with a breathtaking display of handcrafted decorations.

Thousands of knitted, crocheted and sewn flowers, leaves, animals and insects now adorn the building, recreating its original Victorian charm.

Most of the intricate pieces were made by members of the community with contributions also arriving from across the UK and abroad, said organisers.

They estimate that more than 7,000 individual elements make up the display which also includes hidden surprises for children to discover.

The project, which will be on display throughout July and August, was made possible with the help of Lynton & Lynmouth Town Council, the Community Bookshop and countless volunteers who contributed ideas, materials and time.
