St Lawrence's Christmas Tree Festival

Hubby and I visited church on Saturday for the Christmas Tree  Festival - what an amazing sight to see the church filled with 60 real trees with shiny tinsel, decorations and lights.

It is superb how businesses, individuals, social groups and schools all help make it such a special place. 

I cannot thank you enough for stitching and sending letters to adorn the Alphabet Tree, it has been receiving a lot of admiration and praise. Detailed photos are in my previous post - The Alphabet Tree 

I took many photos and have tried to show views of the church as well as individual trees. I have added the tree name where I can remember which one it was, the names are very clever.

Our very special stars 

It is so moving yet peaceful to be in the church with all the trees, even with other visitors admiring everyone's work there is an air of calm. 

The trees do make it a special place, I wish you were all near enough to visit but hopefully my photos will portray the Christmas joy.

It’s lovely to see all those amazing trees, Clare. Glad to have played a very small part in it.
Such gorgeous details in all of them. I love the royal trees, the bellringers and forestree especially, ooh, and he one with the Christmas puds too. All such fun.
