Sudbury's annual Christmas Tree Festival, now in it’s 23rd year and organised by Sudbury Rotary Club, always welcomes a regular stream of visitors and provides a major attraction before Christmas. We are delighted to return to St Gregory’s Church for this year's event.
Rotary volunteers will spend Sunday 6th December at St Gregory’s to begin setting up for the festival, with the trees arriving and being decorated on Monday 7th. During the week, young and old can enjoy the eye-catching spectacle of around 70 decorated trees in a superb setting. Each tree is sponsored and decorated by a local group including schools, playgroups, individuals, businesses, churches, charities and various other associations resulting in an amazing variety of decorated trees.
The Christmas Tree Festival offers a magical start to the Christmas season and will be open from 10am. to 5pm. from Tuesday 8th December to Saturday 12th and on Sunday 13th from 10am. until 4pm. This joyful event brings Christmas to the heart of Sudbury and is a delight for its many hundreds of visitors. A charity donation of £2.00 is requested for each adult (children U12 are free) and the festival will raise funds, after covering it’s costs, in support of Sudbury Rotary's chosen charities, which this year has the East Anglian Children’s Hospice (EACH) as it’s principal charity.
Rotary President David Ball said "We look forward to welcoming visitors from far and wide and hope that, in these difficult times, both nationally and internationally, visitors will derive enjoyment from this year's display of trees”.
