Community Christmas Tree Festival Friday 12th - Sunday 14th December 2025

We are proud to host this Community event for anyone to decorate a Christmas tree, either to promote our local groups, businesses and favourite charities, or simply for the fun of decorating Christmas Trees!

 

There is no charge for having a tree at the festival.

 

Arrangements:

​

Set up will be from 5pm – 8pm on Thursday 11th December.

 

Most of the trees will be situated on boards on the pews running down the length of the Church, which will provide an easy way for visitors to look at all the trees.

 

The Church will decide the location of trees in order to provide a mix of organisations. We will provide a name sign for your organization, which will stand in front of your tree.

 

The Festival will be open at the following times:

​

Friday 12th December:  6.30pm - 8.30pm

Saturday 6th December:  12.30am - 6.00pm

Sunday 14th December:  11.00am – until after the Carol Service at 5.00pm.

 

Tea and coffee will be available in the Church throughout the Festival.

 

You will be able to take your tree down on Monday 15th December between 5.00pm and 7.00pm.

 

Tree Specifications:

​

You need to decorate your tree to a design which reflects your organization.

 

It is essential for health and safety, and to provide a consistent display that the following specifications are adhered to:

  • Trees should be artificial

  • Trees should be between 4’ and 5’

  • Lights need to be low-powered, static (eg. not flashing or twinkly) battery run LED, and be in good condition.

  • Spare batteries should be left in case they run out. At the end of each day the lights will be turned off.

 

To sign up, either send an email with your contact details, and if appropriate, the name of any charity or business you are wanting to promote to this address: secretarypccstanneinthegrove@gmail.com

or fill in the enquiry form here

 

Creativity and doing ‘something different’ is actively encouraged and will help make the Festival a real success!!

You are more than welcome to leave business cards or information flyers at the foot of your tree.
