WALES IN BLOOM ‘GOLD’ WINNER BEST IN LARGE TOWN CLASS 2022

 

 

 

Colwyn Bay has enjoyed considerable success through the Colwyn in Bloom, Wales in Bloom and Britain in Bloom initiatives, since 2000.

The town was officially the ‘Best Large Town in Wales’ (and has been for twelve consecutive years, from 2002 –2017* & 2019 – 2022) and has been nominated to represent Wales in the Britain in Bloom competition in 2004, 2008, 2010, 2013, 2014 and 2016 & 2021.

* Colwyn Bay won ‘Best Town’ category in 2005 when Wales in Bloom temporarily changed the population criteria.

The Colwyn in Bloom Committee comprises officers from local government together with volunteers representing a variety of community groups with an interest in horticultural and/or environmental matters.

By developing high quality environments for the benefit of the local community, Colwyn in Bloom seeks to drive tourism; increase footfall and in so doing create employment and reduce crime and anti-social behaviour.

Colwyn in Bloom is a committee of the Bay of Colwyn Town Council to whom it regularly bids for its annual core budget. This helps to fund sustainable planting, floral displays, willow sculptures and other environmental improvements around the Bay of Colwyn area. Conwy County Borough Council and Bay of Colwyn Town Management are also fully committed to supporting the campaign.

Local business sponsors are always welcomed and various levels of sponsorship are available.
