At Christmas, the tree is decorated with handmade wool ornaments made by local people.

As in previous years, the event was jointly led by St Peter and St Paul's Church and the band and around 30 people sang with some ducking in and out as they passed by.

The traditional Christmas story was told, interspersed with several well-known and well sung choruses.

The event was rounded off by the bands’ resounding rendition of, ‘We wish you a merry Christmas’, followed by mince pies and sweets for all.

Organisers thanked ADC (sound system), OT fundraisers, and a group of knitters. for their support.
