Christmas Tree Festival for St Clears

Choose any carol you like and the odds are that there will be a Christmas tree decorated on that theme at the Christmas Tree Festival at St Mary's Church, St Clears from 2pm on Thursday, December 2 until Sunday, December 5.
After a short opening service on Thursday afternoon (2pm), the Festival will then be ready for people to come and visit on Friday, Saturday and Sunday (11am - 5pm) to see the festive trees and enjoy seasonal refreshments at the Town Hall opposite the church.
The trees are being decorated by local organisations in St Clears, Bancyfelin and Pwll Trap.
The vicar, Canon Bryan Witt, said “Christmas trees are a traditional part of the Christmas celebration and this festival provides a special opportunity for them to bring us together as a community. We hope that many people who have enjoyed our flower festivals in previous years will come and visit us at some time during the festival.”
The Christmas tree festival will open with a brief tree blessing service on Thursday, December 2 at which the choir of Ysgol Griffith Jones will be taking part. Cllr Mark Davies, Mayor of St Clears, will be present for the closing Christingle Service at 6pm on Sunday, December 5.
The festival is being co-ordinated by Lilwen Thomas who is well-known for her
national award winning floral creations.
For further information, contact Canon Bryan Witt, 01994 230266, or email heather.witt@virgin.net
There will be a modest festival fee which will include refreshments.
