This year do not miss the wonderful sight of over 40 Christmas
Trees decorated by local organisations, charities and individuals
illustrating ‘Christmas Traditions’. There will be a lovely festive
atmosphere with a wide range of music by choirs, ukelele groups,
woodwind, drums, and other musical performances during the
festival. Also, a life size stable with storytelling, in which families
can also ‘Get in the Picture’ and take photos dressed as people in
the Nativity story.

We open each day from 10 am until 6 pm with seasonal
refreshments available throughout the day. Admission is free with
all donations going to two local charities. There will also be an
opportunity to add ribbons to the outdoor Tree of Remembrance,
to remember a loved one.

On Sunday 10 December, at 4 pm, there will be a quiet, reflective
‘Lights of Love’ remembrance service at which you may light a
candle, and this will also be followed by refreshments.

Please bring your friends and family along to Emmanuel Baptist
Church to share in this special community event.
