GET INVOLVED

NEW THIS YEAR 🎄CLICK HERE TO BOOK A COMMUNITY TREE 🎄

There’s even more opportunity to get involved this year with the introduction of Community Trees - a simple, creative way for individuals, families, schools and other groups to join in for just £50. These beautifully crafted wooden Christmas trees, made by Men’s Shed Worcester - a local community group dedicated to supporting men’s wellbeing and mental health through connection and creativity - can be collected and decorated at your own pace, in your home, school, or workplace.

RETURNING THIS YEAR 🎄CLICK HERE TO BOOK A DEDICATION TREE 🎄

A Living Tribute — Celebrate, remember, and give thanks
This Christmas, remember someone who holds a special place in your heart.

Dedicate one of our living trees with a personal message (max. 80 characters) to be displayed during the festival. Whether your dedication is in loving memory, gratitude or celebration of someone special, your tree will become part of this beautiful seasonal display. This year, the Dedication Trees will be displayed in the Dean's Chapel (last year, they were in the Chapter House). The Dean's Chapel provides a quieter, more reflective space.

All 50 trees available for dedication have been generously donated by St Peter’s Garden Centre who are partnering with us to make this moving celebration possible.
