Over 1700 people visited All Saints’ Church over 4 days
This year’s Christmas Tree Festival at All Saints’ Church was a great success. Over 1,700 people came to see the 40 Christmas trees decorated by schools, businesses and community organisations. The Festival was opened on Friday 2 December by the Vice Lord-Lieutenant Mr Wyldbore-Smith and the Mayor of Westbury, Mrs Sheila Kimmins. They were helped by dancers from Dancecraft. On Saturday visitors were able to enjoy music from the fairground organ as well as live music from the Hilperton Recorder Players and Amusette. The popular Christingle service at 4pm on Sunday attracted around 90 people.
Over £2,000 was raised to support the work of the Church throughout the coming year. The organisers want to thank all the volunteers who came to support the event including members of the Rotary Club and all the people who came to visit the church and support the groups who decorated the trees. Revd Rebecca Harris said: “We were very pleased to welcome so many people into All Saints’ over the weekend. It was great to see so many people of all ages enjoying the beautiful trees on display. We hope to see many more during the run up to Christmas this year.” The Christmas tree with the most votes was Bitham Brook Primary School with the 1st Westbury Scout Group the runners up.
