Ilkley's first Christmas Tree Festival will be held on Friday 23rd and Saturday 24th November 2018 at the St Margaret's Church, Ilkley.
Born out of a love of Christmas, charity, and the Ilkley community... and taking inspiration from other Christmas Tree Festivals across the UK... this unique event will provide a festive platform to showcase Ilkley's hardworking community groups and charities.
Over 20 trees will be on display, each lit up and decorated creatively by a local community group or charity. A programme of Christmas music by local musicians and singers will be performed, and refreshments will be available to purchase.
Members of the public may donate a fee of their choosing to visit the display, soak up the festive atmosphere and place their vote for the best decorated tree.
Run by volunteers, the festival is not-for-profit and donations will be distributed across the charities and community groups taking part. It will be a unique event - designed to engage the whole community regardless of age, ability, faith or finance - and heighten the magic of Christmas.
3-5pm is low sensory time with no music. To book a visit during this time please email ilkleychristmastreefestival@hotmail.com
