Seasonal wreaths and Christmas trees – one made entirely out of tins of food – were the order of the day at the annual Christmas Tree Festival held at the parish church of All Saints’, Landbeach, last weekend (30 November-1 December).
Trees had to display battery lights and could be real, artificial, or made from recycled materials.

Angela, who also wanted to give a “big shout out” to Girlguiding, Herons’ Preschool Waterbeach, and the WI for their involvement, revealed that this year’s winning tree was the Emmaus entry.
