WI Walk for December 2016 - The Christmas Tree Festival

Today we revisited the Christmas tree festival at Upminster Methodist Church. This is a wonderful event that involves the whole community.



A local group e.g. school, cubs, choir decorates a tree each and the festival is held in the Methodist Church. The visitors walk around the church and vote for the best tree. It is so hard to decide because every tree has had so much work put into it. They also have a wonderful Christmas hunt for the children.




We were lucky this year that the WI ladies brought their children and grandchildren to this lovely event. They met Tom, the Shetland Pony from T Cribbs and Sons and went to  visit Father Christmas in his grotto.


Have a wonderful Christmas and see you in 2017.
