The Alternative Christmas Tree Festival begins this Saturday 12 December. 148 trees will adorn the front gardens of East & West Hagbourne. It’ll be a magical, visual spectacle for the eyes when they are all lit up ! Don’t forget, there will be 10 large trees in the churchyard to enjoy too. There isn’t a map – far too many trees for that – but most roads in both Hagbournes are represented. You won’t have to go far to find one!

Festival raffle tickets are now on sale from the village shop at a £1 a ticket – 10 prizes for the 10 years of the festival – so please pop along to buy some and support the causes we are raising money for – Homeless Oxfordshire & St Andrew’s Church.

Finally, if you’d like the children (or adults!) to get involved in the festival, we’ve produced a black and white version of our special anniversary logo this year. Please feel free to colour it in and pop it in your window! You can print it off from the Parish Magazine (last page)
