We would like to thank everyone that has contributed towards winning the Ayre Cup for Radstock. The last time the town won a trophy in the RHS Britain in bloom competition was nine years ago in 2013.

BUT special thanks must be given to some amazing partnerships.

2023 sees the 50th anniversary since the closures of the mines. Radstock's foundations and now heritage alongside other organisation we will be commemorating this anniversary. We will also continue to increase our sustainability and awareness of our local environment and reduce our environmental impact.

After a successful Peat- Free trail this year all of 2023 hanging baskets will be Peat-free compost and follow a similar colour scheme to the Somerset miners' flag of Red, Yellow, White and Green.
