🌸 WE DID IT — SILVER GILT! 🌸

We are incredibly proud to announce that Collingham in Bloom has been awarded a Silver Gilt Award in the 2026 East Midlands in Bloom – Small Town Category! 🏆🌺

Even more excitingly, Collingham achieved an outstanding score of 84% — just ONE point short of a Gold Award! ⭐

This fantastic achievement belongs to everyone who played a part. A huge THANK YOU to all our volunteers who planted, watered, weeded, painted, tidied, organised and gave up so much of their time to make Collingham look its very best.

Thank you also to our local businesses, community groups, schools and residents who supported us throughout the year. Every contribution made a difference.

🌻 And there’s more fantastic news to come… We’ll shortly be sharing the results from the individual award categories, where Collingham’s successes have been truly stunning!

For now, congratulations to everyone involved — 84%, Silver Gilt and just one point from Gold!

🌸 What an achievement for Collingham! 🌸

🌸 Celebrating the 2026 Collingham in Bloom Route 🌸

Over the coming weeks, we’re going to celebrate each part of our 2026 East Midlands in Bloom judging route and the wonderful people, places and organisations who helped make Collingham shine.

This week, we’re starting where the route began — at Collingham & District Cricket Club, our Best Business nominee for 2026. 🏏🌺

The cricket club is volunteer-run and volunteer-managed, and what a brilliant job they have done. From the early spring clean through to planting, maintaining, tidying and caring for the grounds all year, the volunteers have kept the club looking immaculate.

As well as nurturing cricket stars of the future from our community we also discovered the cricket club harvest over 30,000 litres of rainwater from their roofs to water the grounds - AMAZING! And bat boxes in the woodland along with the outfield being a haven for wildlife.

Their beautiful floral displays gave the judges a fantastic first impression and showed exactly what community pride looks like in Collingham. 🌼💚

A huge thank you to everyone at Collingham & District Cricket Club for your hard work, dedication and support.

Looking ahead to East Midlands in Bloom 2027, if you have a business in Collingham that would like to be considered as our Best Business nominee, please get in touch — we’d love to hear from you. 🌸✨

🌸 What a day for Collingham in Bloom! 🌸

Yesterday our judges from East Midlands in Bloom Friends of East Midlands in Bloom spent the day touring the very best of what our village has to offer — and what a showcase it was!

From the Cricket Club to The Green, All Saints to the Millennium Garden, the brand new Pinfold, Rose Orchard, our Best Garden entry, Beaufields, Wonky Corner, William Bailey House, the School and The Royal Oak — every single stop told the story of a village that truly comes together.

A special mention too for our Blooming Barrows — residents who put their own homemade creations out on the street for the day, adding brilliant colour and character to the trail. 🛒🌼

The judges loved it. We loved it. And honestly, seeing it all through their eyes reminded us just how much this village has to be proud of.

A massive thank you to every volunteer and resident who has planted, weeded, watered, painted, swept and cared for Collingham this year. This is your achievement as much as anyone's.

Now we wait for the results... fingers crossed! 🤞
