10^th Christmas Tree Festival We are already looking forward to the 10^th Christmas Tree Festival in our church which this year is planned to run from Friday 30^th November to Monday 3^rd December 2018 (The first weekend in December).

For a number of years the festival has been very well supported. We usually remind everyone of the date this early in the year and invite them and you to be a part of the Festival. All money raised goes to children’s charities, usually charities who work in Devon. We hope you can help support this village event and charity fund-raiser which is organised by the Methodist congregation with lots of help from the village and surrounding area.

Being the 10^th Festival, this is a special year and those of you who knit have been helping to produce the ‘Angels’ to be given away at the Festival. Thank you. Last year we had a record 44 trees and hope that we might have even more this year. Don’t worry, we will find space for them, if they are offered!!
