A popular community tree festival will take place at St Mary's Church.

The Christmas tree event in Church Road, Lymm, is set to be a hit, with 48 trees already confirmed.

Welcoming the start of the festive season, the festival will run from December 6 to December 8.

The event will open at 10am on the Friday, with Statham School kicking off the celebrations.

The opening day will also see performances from Ravenbank School choir, a medieval recorder music group, and the Lymm High School band.

Saturday's festivities will feature performances from the Rock Choir, a ukulele band, and St Mary's children's choir, among others.

Reverend Bev Jameson, rector of St Mary's, said: "We are all looking forward to seeing you all at St Mary's for the Christmas Tree Festival this year, which will be a joyous and wonderful way to get into the Christmas spirit.

"The entertainment is fantastic and as I am a member of Rock Choir, so it is a delight that I will be singing with them on Saturday."

The festival will also feature a mouse hunt, with a prize for children who find the sugar mice hidden in the tree displays.

Refreshments will be available, including tea, coffee, and cake, alongside a selection of craft items and homemade produce on sale each day.
