Local groups invited to join Ilkley Christmas Tree Festival
St Margaret’s Church in Ilkley is inviting local community groups, charities and schools to take part in this year’s much-loved Ilkley Christmas Tree Festival.
The annual display of sparkling Christmas trees will take place on Friday 4 December and Saturday 5 December, with the Queen's Road church showcasing the organisations that touch the lives of people across the community.
Nordmann Fir Christmas trees will be supplied by Moss and Moor and styled to capture the essence of each organisation’s unique personality. After the festival, participants can take their tree home to enjoy throughout Christmas.
Organiser Joanne Tomlinson said: “St Margaret’s will once again be filled with stunning Christmas trees showcasing the work of many vital community groups, charities and local schools in Ilkley and Addingham.
"It is a wonderful opportunity for visitors to discover the services and organisations that support our community, while enjoying festive cheer in our beautiful church. Alongside the spectacular trees, there will be live music across the two days, including performances by local choirs, musicians and primary school children.”
Freshly baked cakes and mince pies, sausage rolls, coffee, tea and juices will be on sale, inviting visitors to sit for a while, chat with friends and enjoy the music and entertainment in this beautiful church.
If your organisation would like to be involved, please contact Joanne Tomlinson to reserve a tree for £40 — and yours to take home after the festival — by emailing st.margarets.treefestival@gmail.com no later than Saturday 24 October.
