OMNES Ad Unum and St John’s Church are launching plans for our third Tree Festival in Devizes from December 2 to January 6, which we hope will be bigger and better than ever.
As before 4ft trees with white lights will be decorated by groups and organisations, and sponsored, either by themselves or by local businesses in Devizes and surrounding areas. 
We are aiming for more than 50 trees this year.
Sponsorship is only £30 per tree.
The tree festival enhances our candlelit Christmas bazaar which this year will be held on the December 8 and 9 in both the church and the Town Hall.
Three quarters of the money raised from both the tree festival and bazaar will go towards local children’s charities and groups, and the remainder to St John’s Church.
This year sees the introduction of memorial trees which can be sponsored in memory of a family member or friend. 
Each tree will display a plaque with the name of the person or people remembered. A single star will top each tree. 
These 4ft trees will be located in the churchyard, lining the pathways, and can have either white lights or coloured lights on them.
Much smaller trees, 18 inches high, limited in number, will be inside the church, again with a single star but with white lighting.
Small trees will be £15, and 4ft trees £30.
If you would like to enter to decorate a tree, sponsor a tree, or have a memorial tree then please email the email address below or call into the Parish Room on Monday, Wednesday or Friday morning.
