Great Missenden Christmas Tree Festival

St Peter and St Paul’s Church, Great Missenden, Buckinghamshire, held its Christmas Tree Festival on Saturday 30 November and Sunday 1 December 2024.  According to a welcomer at the door it seemed as if the festival had been ‘held for ever, but it’s probably for only four or five years’.

About twenty trees were decorated and placed around the church so that each one could be individually examined and admired (unlike many similar festivals where the trees are crammed together).  Refreshments were provided and stalls around the church offered a variety of goods including cakes and preserves.
