“The Christmas trees are a fabulous spectacle and they are decorated by their sponsors in various themes, traditional, or brand-inspired by the many social, charitable and business organisations!

“Each tree is sponsored and decorated by the generosity of local businesses, charities, community organisations and families, and St Chad’s is really happy to be welcoming them to maintain this heart-warming Christmas tradition.

“In addition to the festival; other events are planned and Christmas church services will be taking place throughout the Christmas period with full details on the church website www.stchadschurchshrewsbury.com. Please come and join us for these services to once again worship together at Christmas.”
