At the end of a year celebrating 50 years of Partnership between 4 Old Town churches and following last year\u2019s highly successful \u201cLive Nativity\u201d event, The Journey, we are pleased to announce the Partnership Christmas Tree Festival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The idea is that each church uses its imagination to offer a different atmosphere and layout depending on building and site considerations.\u00a0 In this way the churches are linked through a single event.\u00a0 Any donations or money raised will go to the Mayors Charities; CALM (Children\u2019s Cancer and Leukaemia Movement) and DCS (Deaf Children\u2019s Society) which are both locally administered children\u2019s charities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Festival will be launched with a free guided walk between the churches on the 1st\u00a0December.\u00a0 The guided walk will leave St Mary’s Church, Commonweal Road at 4.10 pm, and finishes at Immanual church.\u00a0 The route is 1 1\/4 miles in total and is easy going along pavements and will allow participants to experience the Christmas Tree festival in each church. It will be repeated on Sunday 8th\u00a0December. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Mayor will officially open the Christmas Tree Festival at the Advent service at Immanuel Church at 6.30 pm on 1st December.The festival, which is free to attend, is a family friendly introduction to Christmas involving the 4 churches offering hospitality and a magical Christmas tree experience. St Mary\u2019s church in Commonweal Road, Bath Road Methodist Church and Immanuel Church in Upham road will offer a display of sponsored, decorated trees inside their churches as well as refreshments and a festive welcome. At Christ Church, the ground around the church will be transformed by the installation of more than 20 decorated Christmas trees, each sponsored by a local business or charity. Refreshments will be offered, as well as craft activities and a fun treasure trail for the children inside and outside the church. A full programme of events and opening times is available on the Partnership Website, from the button below or by visiting any of the churches and picking up a Christmas Tree Festival Brochure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
