Christmas Tree Festival

This year alongside our traditional Christmas trees we are also inviting individuals to create a decorative star.

What better way to start the Christmas festivities than wandering around the beautifully decorated Church and sharing the experience with family and friends.

There will of course be the opportunity to enjoy a drink and a tasty treat, with a warm Christmas punch added to the menu; as well as a small gift shop should you need a final stocking filler. If that isn’t enough, there will be a service amongst the trees on the Sunday morning at 11am.


Opening Times
Friday 6th December – 10am – 6pm
Saturday 7th December – 10am – 6pm
Sunday 8th December – 1pm – 3:30pm
Monday 9th December – Open to Schools by appointment


Get involved


Christmas Trees
We are accepting trees, up to 6ft in height, from businesses and community groups decorated in a theme of your choice. We are asking that any lights are mains powered where possible.

The Church will be open on Wednesday evening (6pm – 8.30pm) and during the day on Thursday (10am – 4pm) for you to set up the trees and again on the following Tuesday (2pm – 7pm) for you to collect your tree.

As in previous years we are asking businesses to pay £15 for their tree. The £15 fee can be paid by cheque payable to PCC of Christ Church or by bank transfer to sort code: 40-52-40, account number: 00013189 please quote the reference ‘CTF’ together with your business name. To book, please complete the form below.

Shining Stars
This year we are challenging you to create a decorative star. Be as creative as you like, and you may include battery lights if you wish. Please ensure that they are no larger than 12″ freestanding or suitable for hanging.
These will be judged by our specially selected panel of judges with prizes being awarded to the best ones. There is no charge for star entries.

If you would like to reserve a place for a tree and/or star please complete the form below no later than Friday 15th November
