The festival organised by Reverend Mary West marks the beginning of the Christmas celebrations in the local area. Rev West said: “The festival brings together local businesses and organisations in our community, they’re asked to bring along a tree that represents their organisation in a fun, humorous or traditional way. It’s a really lovely way of bringing everyone together at this time of year.”

Abigail Bailey, Education and Community Officer helped to set up the tree that represented SUEZ recycling and recovery UK. The tree was filled with decorations made by Cornish School children during scrap modelling sessions held whilst visiting our visitor centres. She said: “The creativity has been amazing; the children have made some really innovative decorations by reusing items that may well have been thrown away.”
