Welcome to the Goostrey Rose Festival website. Goostrey Rose Festival is a celebration of our
children and young people and Rose Day is a day of fun for all who participate, their families,
friends and anyone else who comes along to support the event.
The Rose Festival is organised by a voluntary committee, helped by fantastic support throughout the village. This support, along with the dedication of the committee, ensure that our annual Rose Day is an enjoyable and memorable day for everyone.
Whilst our current Rose Queen, Honor Hocknell, and her attendants enjoy their year visiting various events around the region, we are in the process of looking for our Rose Queen and attendants for 2012 and plans are well under way for this year's Rose Day, to be held on Saturday 30th June 2012.
With our Rose Queen judging and Rosebud Queen selection coming up on Saturday 3rd March, along with the children's parties in the village hall, and forms for participating in this year's procession due to go out shortly, Goostrey Rose Day would seem to be just round the corner once again!
I hope you enjoy using the website to find out more and become involved in the largest Rose Day in Cheshire.
I look forward to seeing you at Rose Day, on Saturday 30th June 2012.
Best wishes
