The festival was started last year, to help bring people together after the alienation and loneliness that Covid 19 had brought. This year was the first fundraiser, with money being raised to support the local pre-school.

The second year of the festival has proved to be even more popular, with visitors from across the country coming to view the unusual flower pot models.

The unusual and creative nature of the festival soon caught the attention of BBC Radio Humberside and Look North, who sent reporters to take a tour and even make their own models.

A spokesperson for the festival organisers said: “We would like to thank the local village shops, pubs and cafes who sold the trail maps and displayed collection boxes.

“Without their support this amazing total would not have been possible.

“Also special thanks to Haven Holiday Village management who generously supported the event.

“Plans are already underway for our 2024 Flower Pot Festival and we hope that POTTY Models will be brighter and bolder and brilliantly bonkers!”
