BEAUTIFUL floral art designs depicted the life of a Runcorn church - in flowers.

A free flower festival at The Heath Methodist Church was hailed a huge success.

Hundreds of visitors looked round the colourful displays during the three day exhibition at the church in Vista Road.

All aspects of the church's groups and activities from Sunday worship, bible study and prayer group to mums and tots, ladies fellowship, art, drama and ramblers were represented in the colourful arrangements.

Free flower workshops also gave people a chance to have a go themselves at turning flowers into designs.

Works of art created by local children were also on display in a gallery.

The festival was supported by Neighbourhood Renewal Community Chest.
