Celebrate Spirit Of The Season At Brighstone Christmas Tree Festival

The Brighstone Christmas Tree Festival is back, with the main event running from Thursday December 7 to Sunday December 10, and select venues running throughout the month.

Now in its 27th year, the cherished event will kick off with the ‘Lights of Love’ carol service on Wednesday December 6 at 7pm in St Mary’s church, which is supporting the Mountbatten Hospice.

This year, more than 150 beautifully decorated trees will be on display, showcasing the creativity of local charities, not-for-profit organisations, and businesses.

The festivities will unfold across 10 venues in West Wight, providing an opportunity for the community to come together and revel in the joy of the
holiday season.

Activities abound for all ages, including a delightful nativity pageant at the Brighstone Methodist church, a festive night-time tractor ride out from the Isle of Wight Pearl to Calbourne Mill, Christmas quizzes and raffles, special visits from Father Christmas, captivating festive storytelling by the fire, live musical performances, craft markets, entertaining local acts, face painting, and delectable homemade refreshments.

There will be a free park and ride service offered by FYT bus, donations very much welcomed towards supporting this community lifeline in West Wight.

The true spirit of the season shines through as all proceeds go towards supporting charities and good causes on the Island.

Entry to the festival is free for all, with donations warmly welcomed to help support essential community endeavours
