Decorate a Christmas Tree for our Festive Display at St James’ Church
We would like to invite you to be a part of St James’s Christmas Tree Festival! This is a wonderful opportunity to showcase our community’s creativity and holiday spirit by contributing a festive tree to our display.
The festival will be held from Saturday, 13th December to Sunday, 21st December at St James’ Church, Church Lane, Hebden Bridge HX7 6DS. Weekend opening times are from 1.00 pm until 3.00 pm and on weekdays the church will be open from 2.30 pm to 3.30 pm.
It is a chance for everyone to come together and celebrate the season with a beautiful and diverse collection of decorated trees.
We are asking individuals, families, schools and local businesses to decorate a Christmas tree for this event. You will be responsible for decorating your own tree. If you have no time to decorate a tree, but would be happy to loan us a tree, we would love to hear from you as we can provide some decorations.
Here are a few things to keep in mind:
- Theme: We have chosen a theme of transport although this is not essential. We encourage you to get creative with your decorations and let your tree tell a story.
- Lighting: You are welcome to add lights to your tree, but as the church has few mains sockets and for safety, please ensure the lights are battery operated.
- Contribution: No Contribution is requested as your participation is a gift in itself
- Deadline: Please sign up to contribute a tree by 30th
To register your tree or to learn more, please contact us at event@machpelah.uk or speak with David Highley on 07786319843.
Thank you for helping us to make this a magical and memorable Christmas for our community. We look forward to seeing your beautiful trees!
