A Rose By Any Other Name: flower festival at Queen Elizabeth's
Hunting Lodge
15-17 June 2007, 11.00am - 5.00pm
Admission Free
City Creations, a group of contemporary flower arrangers from
the north London area of the National Association of Flower
Arranging Societies, will stage interpretative floral art designs
based on a Shakespearean theme from Friday 15 to Sunday 17 June at
Queen Elizabeth's Hunting Lodge in Chingford.
This will be the second flower festival hosted at the Hunting
Lodge. The show put on by City Creations two years ago was a
great success.
The Shakespeare theme was inspired by the story that "A
Midsummer's Night's Dream" was written for and first performed at a
wedding in Copped Hall near Epping. The Hunting Lodge was built for
King Henry VIII in 1543 and has wonderful views out over Epping
Forest.
The festival is open from 11.00am to 5.00pm each day.
Admission is free, but donations are gratefully received.
The Lodge is on Rangers Road, Chingford, E4 7QH.
For more information please ring 0208 529 7090.

Notes for editors
Epping Forest:
Epping Forest, a major public open space and a site of
international importance for its cultural and wildlife value, is
owned and managed by the City of London. Since the 1870’s it
has had a policy of protecting open spaces for the enjoyment of
Londoners. This policy was subsequently adopted by central and
local government and the Green Belt was born.
