About Hitchin Christmas Tree Festival
Held every year since 1997 in Holy Saviour Church, the Festival is believed to be the oldest established Christmas Tree Festival in Britain.
Hitchin Christmas Tree Festival Description
Our 21st Festival in 2017 will take place on Dec 9th, 10th, 12noon till 6pm. Around 50 trees are displayed, each decorated by an individual, school, family, local group or business to illustrate a theme of their choice. The effect in this beautiful Victorian church is magical. Live music is featured throughout the weekend, and hot and cold lunches and teas are served in the adjacent hall.
The Festival opens with a special preview and concert on the Friday night, and closes with a service of thanksgiving on the Sunday night. We expect to welcome over 2, 000 visitors over the Festival weekend.
