The story behind one of Christmas’s best-known songs will be brought to life at this year’s Christmas Tree Festival at Forest Parish Church.
The annual festival returns from 1 December to 4 January, with displays inspired by The 12 Days of Christmas and the meaning behind the famous festive carol.
Visitors will be able to enjoy decorated Christmas trees throughout the church while also exploring the symbolism associated with the song’s gifts.
The festival will also feature stalls selling crafts, hand-knitted garments, gifts, Christmas decorations, jam and other seasonal treats.
The church will be open daily from 10am to 4pm, with free admission and parking available.
Organisers are encouraging islanders to drop in over the festive season to enjoy the displays, browse the stalls and discover more about one of Christmas’s most enduring traditions.
