St Laurence's Christmas Tree Festival 2024

My Santa Tree is up and looks lovely, thank you to everyone who stitched a Santa. I also used some cardboard santas we had in our Christmas box and some large felt santas I made when our children were young (they must be about 30 years old)




We visited the church on Sunday to see all the beautiful trees, such a lot of work goes into all of them by local businesses, social groups, schools and individuals. I'm always amazed at the variety of themes. It was impossible to take a photo of all 60 trees so I took a few of my favourite displays.

Local Tourist Tree - Diana K
Local Tourist Tree - Diana K

Snakes and Ladders - Maureen W

Artistree - Ansley Village Art Group

The 12 days of Christmas - Debbie S


The Clangers - Ansley Ringers


Straw Tree - Helen B & Liz K

The church looked amazing with the Angles on high and baubles hanging, the scent of the real trees really make sit Christmassy.





The biggest tree is the Memory Tree where names of loved ones no longer with us to share this wonderful time of year can be  written on stars and added to the tree. I always put a star on for my Dad and Hubby's Dad, this year my Mum and Hubby's Mum were also added. 


If you are local it really is worth a visit but for those who live further away I hope you've enjoyed seeing the wonderful displays .... wishing you all a very Merry Christmas
