St Thomas's Christmas Tree Festival

About

For it's 20th anniversary, St Thomas’s Christmas Tree Festival will once again bring creativity and seasonal joy to the centre of Salisbury

Now one of the biggest and best attended events of its type in the UK, this year’s Festival promises to be even bigger, and more exciting. There will be more trees and a record number of musicians providing an unforgettable Christmas experience.

This year the Festival opens on Tuesday 3rd December and runs through to Sunday 8th December. Tuesday to Saturday doors open at 10am and close at 5.30 pm. Sunday times are 12 noon until 5.30pm.  Entry is free.

It is anticipated that about 100 decorated trees and nativity scenes will be on display, all submitted from local organisations and individuals, and all provided to raise money for this year’s nominated charities: Christians Against Poverty (CAP) and Morning Star Salisbury. Last year the Festival was visited by over 12,000 visitors and they gifted over £20,000 to worthy causes.

Every year visitors are amazed and inspired by the stunning creativity and ingenuity presented by the decorated trees and how this heartwarming effort evokes the real meaning of Christmas.  A vital part of the magic generated by the occasion is due to the continuous festive music programme provided by leading local groups, choirs, soloists, and bands.  The Festival is both a visual and aural event celebrating all that is best about Christmas.

To keep up energy levels there will be seasonal treats and snacks available from our festive catering team.
