Fakenham Parish Church holds its 10th Christmas Tree Festival from Thursday 2nd to Thursday 9th December 2010 between 10am and 8pm daily.

This ever popular occasion attracted 25,000 people last year and raised over £23,000 for charities mostly in small coins! It attracted numerous coaches en route to Thursford.

This year 78 charities will be taking part and there will be 85 trees!

Entrance to the Festival is free but please bring a bag of coins to place at the charity trees of your choice.

Inside there will be a Christmas Bazaar selling a wide range of Christmas goods; also refreshments, a Tombola and a Grand Draw. Prayers will be said on the hour for the charities and there will be four Prayer Trees where you can write a prayer of your own.

There is disabled access throughout the Church and toilet provision as well as a baby changing unit. All ages are welcome to this family occasion. Coach parties need to book in with the Festival Office.
