After the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic, the community has embraced the concept of the festival with great enthusiasm. Over 20 different trees will be on display, individually decorated in many imaginative themes. Local groups including Young Farmers, CHAOS, the three churches, village schools, B4RN, Chipping in Bloom and many others are taking part in the three-day festive event.

A spokesman said: "Well-known local florist, Ann Seed, will oversee the creative aspects of the event, guaranteeing a truly joyful spectacle. There will also be handmade crafts and food gifts available, all of which have been created by folk from Chipping and the surrounding areas. Seasonal refreshments will be served in the new hospitality area of the church."

The festival runs from December 3rd and 4th from 10am to 4-30pm and December 5th from 12pm to 4-30pm. Admission is free.
