Festival of Trees & Lights

The Christmas Tree Festival
held at
The Church of St Mary Magdalene
over the last weekend, transformed the normal mellow limestone colours of the church walls into a wonderland of colour and light.
There were twenty-nine Christmas Trees with some of the best decorations, and some of the best punning names, yet seen at one of these Festivals.
- ‘Winter Wonderland’
- The School Family Tree
Many of Geddington’s organisations were represented here: from Primary school to Pre-school, from the W.I. to the Gardening Club, from GADS to the GVFB and, of course, representation from the church – the Bellringers (Camponolotree) and the Choir (Choristree). There were also many trees beautifully decorated by individuals.
- ‘Choristree’
- ‘Festivitree’
- ‘Buttons & Bows’
The organisers thanked all those involved who helped over the two days of the Festival as, apart from the trees, there were some seasonal refreshments, an interesting tombola and a raffle with three wonderful hamper prizes.
Visitors were invited to vote for the tree they liked best, which would be rewarded with a gift. It was well worth the admission price of £2, especially as all the proceeds were to go to the Church funds.
