See the beauty of Tree Festivals
ST David’s Hospice invites you to join them at their Christmas Tree Festivals across the region.
Visiting one of their displays is a wonderful way to enjoy the festive season, with each location filled with Christmas Trees, all beautifully adorned with decorations. This year in total there will be over 70 trees on display, created by local businesses, community groups and schools.
The original St David’s Hospice Christmas Tree Festival in Conwy, which takes place in association with Daisy Chain Floral Design, will once again return to the St Mary’s Church in Conwy from Monday 5th to Friday 16th December from 11:30 am-3:30 pm daily and is kindly supported by Conwy Town Council.
In Menai Bridge, the Tree Festival returns for a second year ( Mon 5th December – Sat 10th December 11 am – 2 pm daily) and on Wednesday and Saturday the voices of local Anglesey Choir ‘Singing for Pleasure’ fill the church between 11.30am and 1.30pm.
The third Christmas Tree Festival will be displayed at the Llandudno’s St John’s Church on Mostyn Street, from Monday 12th to Saturday 17th December (10am – 4pm daily).
Adrian Owen, Conwy Community Fundraiser said: “We are really looking forward to our Tree Festivals. We’ve seen some exceptionally creative trees and are very excited to see what this year will bring!
“They have been all shapes and sizes, ladened with ornaments such as traditional baubles and angels, to poppies, toy trucks and snowflakes made from wooden spoons. We have even seen a tree made out of fishing rods!
“We are so grateful to everyone who supports the event by decorating a tree. The display always looks magical and the variety of trees means that there is something for everyone.”
Since the Festival started in 2018, it has raised more than £6650 for St David’s Hospice. All proceeds from the Tree Festivals will go directly to the local end of life care across North West Wales. Entry is free for each event, with a collection bucket to place a donation of your choice should you wish.
Whilst the Christmas Tree Festivals take place, there will also be carol services under the lights of the Christmas Trees at the Conwy and Llandudno events.
‘Carols around the Tree’ in Conwy on Thursday 8th December, will feature the choirs of St Mary’s Church starting at 6.30pm.
The Llandudno Community Carol Service on Thursday 15th December (Doors open from 7pm) will see performances from The Bell Ringers and Llandudno U3A Choir.
Entry is free, and there will be a collection for St David’s Hospice. Complimentary mince pies and warming refreshments will be available at both evenings.
