Grafton Peace Pagoda Flower Festival May 23
The 2021 Grafton Peace Pagoda Flower Festival will be held on Sunday, May 23, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in front of the peace pagoda. The festival celebrates the birth of Buddha and all living things.
This year the ceremony will be limited to drumming and prayer from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Visitors will be pouring sweet tea on Buddhaâs head for the blessing of all life. Due to the continued coronavirus concerns, wear a mask and bring a blanket, cushion or chair to choose a socially distant spot.
âEspecially in this troubled time, come to celebrate the birth of Buddha, the new life of spring and hope with flowers and prayer for world peace,â event organizers write. âThis turning point, a most difficult time, is also an awakening time.â

This week, we look back at an event that normally forms a big part of the motorsport calendar here in Cumbria. In this gallery, we take a trip down memory lane to see crowds taking in the spectacle of Carlisle s Pirelli Rally. The high-profile event, which forms part of the British Rally Championship, has a long association with the city, the tyre plant and the wider area, with the festivities ending in Brampton. On its final run before the pandemic, Mario Apollonio, Pirelli’s industrial director, said the fun day is a chance for workers to bring their partners and children on to the site to enjoy some social time.
