Yate and District Christmas Tree Trail

SATURDAY 5 TO THURSDAY 31 DECEMBER 2020

This year’s Christmas Tree Festival at St Mary’s has been cancelled, as we felt the pandemic had resulted in ‘too many unknowns’ in staging an indoor event, where many of the major decisions have to be made well in advance. However, we are planning an alternative event that would still allow people to decorate trees and raise much needed money for charity.....a Christmas Tree Trail.

The Trail will consist of individually decorated and themed Christmas trees sponsored by ANYONE - local businesses, charities, schools and individuals, with a mapped walking trail around the area. Maps will be sold from local outlets/shops, with all proceeds being divided equally between St Peter’s Hospice and St Mary’s Church to support their ongoing work in the community.

Organisers are calling on residents and businesses interested in taking part to email them now at parishofice@yateparish.org.uk or call Christine on 01454 880518 for more details.

The trail will start on Saturday 5 December and continue through the month, with a ‘Wonderful World of Christmas’ theme and competitions with prizes for all age groups.
