Thirteen stunning images from across Essex make up winning selection

This year we received more than 400 entries in our annual photography competition - a record number!

The standard was very high, making it a tough task for our judges to select the 13 photos that really capture the beauty of Essex throughout the seasons.

The winners reflect the diversity of the flora, fauna and landscape of our county.

The winning pictures will feature in our 2025 Farleigh Hospice calendar. The calendar is on sale in all of our stores across mid Essex. To find your local Farleigh store click HERE.

Alternatively you can order now via our Christmas catalogue HERE.

This year's cover image features a busy bee. The judges chose this image to tie in with Farleigh's Art Trail 'Buzz in the City' - when 40 colourful bee sculptures will be appearing in Chelmsford between July and September 2025.
