"Old, quaint and historic feel and a lovely setting for the annual Christmas Tree festival. This involved original contributions from the local community. Good fun and very creative. Added to this were refreshments, raffle, Craft Fair and an elf hunt !
Great way to get into the old festive spirit!"
