St Chad's will be sparkling with twinkling lights once again this December when a host of beautifully decorated and illuminated Christmas trees fills the church for the opening of its annual Christmas Tree Festival.

There will also be an on-going and diverse programme of Christmas music, song and dance. Admission is free. This spectacular display of trees starts on 13 December and will run daily until 2 January 2025.

Joanna Hepper from St. Chad’s said: “We really would like people to come and enjoy what promises to be a lovely experience in the tranquil atmosphere of our beautiful Georgian church. The Christmas programme of music to entertain visitors will include performances by school choirs and performing arts groups, as well as the regular Friday ‘Concerts in the Round’.

The Festival is a special experience, and the stunningly decorated Christmas trees set in the wonderful ambience of St. Chad’s will be a real Christmastide treat for all the family.
