The new display in the Telephone Gallery celebrated the first ever Ashton Keynes Christmas Tree Festival. My original plan was to have a tree at the Festival, but I thought it would be fun to have a tree in the Telephone Gallery.
If you don’t know anything about the Christmas Tree Festival, here’s all the information:
There'll be 30 beautifully decorated trees each sponsored
by local businesses or organisations/group in Holy Cross Church in Ashton
Keynes over the first weekend of December. The Christmas Tree Festival kicks
off with a special ticketed "Sparkling Soiree" with music from the
Siren Sisters and the Blue Notes and the chance to be the first to see the
trees. Enjoy a complimentary a glass of something sparking and some nibbles and
try your luck on the raffle on Friday 1st December from 7pm to 9pm. Tickets are
£10 from Ashton Keynes Village Shop.
On Saturday and Sunday afternoon, there'll be festive
stalls, a raffle, a tombola, refreshments, a silent auction and on Saturday
from 4 till 6 there is "Festive Family Fun" with activities for
children, festive stalls, mulled wine, hot chocolate, snow - yes, snow! -and
Father Christmas, of course. Tickets on Saturday and Sunday are £5 for a
couple, £3 for an adult, children free.
The final event is the "Festive Awards Celebration" with
carols led by clergy and find out which trees won an award(Sunday 4.30pm).
