The Festival organisers say: “Our theme for 2021 - Hope in Nature - was very much a reflection of the
challenges we’re facing as a community and as a country. The healing power of nature and gardens is
widely recognised. In these extraordinary times they’ve been a lifeline for many people confronted with lockdown, loneliness and loss. In light of this it was especially difficult to make the decision to pause the 2021 Festival.”
But the organisers still hope to see the town blanketed white with snowdrops and they’re calling on the people and communities of Shepton Mallet to help: “We hope to go ahead with the planters in the
town which we know bring so much pleasure to people. We’d like to work with town centre businesses
and the people of Shepton Mallet in February to find ways of brightening up the town with real and
hand-made snowdrops in gardens and windows, a collective sign of hope and recovery as we look to the spring after what could be a hard winter. More details will follow closer to the time.”
