Thornton Christmas Tree Festival ~ St Peter’s Church, Thornton

Saturday 9th and Sunday 10th December 2023

The Friends of St Peter’s are holding their fifth Christmas Tree Festival at the church over the weekend of 9th and 10th December. 

The theme of the festival is “Christmas Traditions From Around The World”.

If you would like to participate and decorate a tree based on topics associated with Christmas colours, please let us know by contacting  Mary Gibson by email on baba.gibson@yahoo.co.uk, or Shirley Garlick on 01530230422 or email shirley.garlick19@btinternet.com.  

Please note that only battery-operated lights are allowed. 

Trees up to 1m (38”) high will be displayed above floor level on boards, ledges etc and all trees over 1m high will be displayed on the floor.

There will be prizes in various categories and an impressive and colourful display of trees will make the Carol Service which starts at 6 pm on 10th December even better than ever.

We hope that the winner of each category will be announced during the Carol service.

Entrance to the festival will be 50p per adult, with refreshments available for a small charge.

All money raised will go towards the maintenance of this lovely 14th century listed building.
