For the event which takes place every other year, many local organisations and businesses are once again decorating Christmas trees in the church, including Findon Village Pre-School, St John the Baptist Primary School, the WI, Messy Church, the newly opened Findon Village Store, a village group called Men In Sheds, the Friends of St John the Baptist Church and the Rowland Singers Choral Society.

Admission and parking at the festival is free, with donations requested for the church. A free programme will give details of all groups taking part. Visitors will also have the opportunity to vote for their favourite tree to see which organisation’s efforts are the most popular.
