Advent 2024 and the Tree Festival

 So many decorated trees in the church in Stowmarket this year, seemed to be many more than normal. It was lovely having a coffee in the cafe there and then a look around at all the wonderful ideas that clubs, groups, societies and businesses come up with.













This was my favourite. By a group called Stow Stories who I'd not heard of before but what they are doing sounds interesting.

  1. They all look so lovely! I think the only Tree Festival they have here costs quite a bit of money to get inside to see.

  13. Well that's a really lovely display indeed. Such a lot of work goes into them.
    We had about the same number as we usually do but no big trees this year so it made it look a lot less.

  14. What a lot of trees, and very imaginatively decorated. I like the Care Home Hark the Herald Angels one best.

  15. I love a tree festival but couldn't help noticing that the Christ Child is already in the crib. That seems to have become a more common scene but I just don't expect it in a church.

  17. Oh gosh, your Christmas tree festival is a bit bigger than ours. I purposefully held my post back a day so we wouldn't clash. We don't want a 'war of the Christmas trees' . :-)

  19. The Tree festival looks wonderful. Sadly, we have nothing like this. I can't imagine anything better than walking among all the decorated trees. The creativity is amazing and inspirational. I'm always looking for new ideas for decorating. Not only trees!

  20. Wow, what gorgeous decorating. We have a tree festival as well, but it is never well advertised and so I seem to miss it every year.

    God bless.
