Friary Christmas Tree Festival!!

Hi Everyone, we are taking part in the Friary’s Christmas Tree Festival! 🎄It is located on the second floor on the side nearest North Street.

A number of local charities are involved and have come together to help spread awareness of all the great work they do whilst celebrating the festive season. The Festive Trees will be on public display until the 31st of December. During this time there will be a public vote for the best dressed Christmas Tree with the winning Charity being awarded a £1,000 cash prize.

Our tree has been fully decorated to the brim with donated baubles from our lovely volunteers as well as some hand crafted ones which are hand sewn and others filled with chocolate!

Throughout the Christmas weeks, we will be removing baubles from the tree to donate to clients at our sessions and welcome them to choose from the wonderful selection to spread some of the festive joy this Christmas!

Come along to the Friary with friends and family to see our Tree and remember…every vote counts!! 😀🎄
