Hucknall Christmas Tree Festival 2011
A magical experience to be shared by everyone!
Hucknall’s second Christmas Tree Festival will be taking place in the historic church of St. Mary Magdalene in the centre of Hucknall.
The Christmas Tree Festival is an open invitation for voluntary organisations and commercial enterprises to exhibit a tree, decorated in a style that promotes their activities and interests. Each tree will be clearly labelled with the name of the organisation or business and the theme of the tree. It promises to be a magical, colourful, imaginative and original display of trees of all shapes and sizes that will captivate the hearts and imagination of adults and children alike.
