Dozens of Christmas trees, some real, others artificial and even more made of recycled plastic and paper will adorn the Gothic architecture of St Mary Redcliffe Church for its annual Treefest.
Some special creations and designs are expected to be part of this year’s event, which is celebrating its tenth anniversary.
Local people, community groups, schools, organisations and businesses are being invited to take part in Treefest which runs from 7-10 December. As part of the tree festival local musicians will be performing at various times.
Those taking part in Treefest along with visitors will be encouraged to make donations to two charities. One of the charities is the Bristol-based charity Sixty One that supports people with a criminal conviction to lead meaningful crime-free lives. The other charity is Redcliffe Hub, a community centre on Redcliffe Hill that is operated by St Mary Redcliffe Church. It provides key facilities and services to local people. This includes running a lunch club and a homework club.
