9:30 am CHRISTMAS TREE FESTIVAL

St Johns Church, Milborne Port

The 2026 village Christmas Tree Festival will be held in St John’s Church, Bathwell Lane from Saturday 28th November to Monday 7th December.

If you run a business, club, or other organisation, and would like to take part by decorating a tree, please contact Susan on 07833 542607 for further details.

This year, the festival will start on the day of the Spirit of Milborne Port Lights’ Switch On (Saturday 28th November) and, as in previous years, the trees will be partly funded by ‘Spirit”.

The church will be open each day for viewing from 9.30 am to 4.00 pm and any donations made will go towards covering the remaining cost of the trees.

The theme for this year is ‘words that sound as if they contain the word tree’.  So do come and admire everyone’s creativity.
