"On Wednesday 26th October 1965", wrote the Newsletter of the Bristol Flower Decoration Society, "we had a most wonderful evening: the showing of the film, taken by the Bristol Cinematograph Club, of the Cathedral Festival of Flowers. The film is wonderful; and everyone who saw it was most impressed. It is dignified, artistic, interesting and has caught in some wonderful way the serene, happy atmosphere of those four days."

The film was not, in spite of the Flower Decoration Society's blurb, an official BCS production although all those involved were members of the club. Ron Elson, Joe Higgins and Reg Middle made it for John Sherborne, The main shooting took place on the "Working Day" - the day when scores of women turned the Cathedral into a garden, prior to the opening of the festival to the public. A couple of sun-guns and a set of photofloods were used though the unit "borrowed" some light from T.W.W. (Television Wales and the West, the local ITV company) and the B.B.C. who were filming at the same time. The shooting was not without incident. While filming, the unit plugged in their lights and promptly blew the Cathedral fuses and plunged the building, working ladies, Cathedral choir getting ready for Evensong, B.B.C. and ITV into darkness.
