The winners of each category are announced at the end of the festival. The event, which coincides with the switching on of the Christmas lights in St Editha's Square on Sunday 24 November, raises valuable funds for the church.



Anyone can take part in the , whether it's a local business, a school or community group looking to promote their work, or an individual who just loves the festive period.

Trees can be decorated in any way, including traditional, themed or reflective of the business or group.
