BURTON OVERY CHRISTMAS TREE FESTIVAL 2015. This year’s Christmas Tree Festival was
held on December 4, 5 and 6, and was our 16th year of holding this fantastic
event. The village looked wonderful this year as many of the villagers put up
their Christmas lights early. The Church was lit up with a splendid display of
over 50 trees which created a magical atmosphere. As well as the Church, the
Village Hall was open for Christmas shopping with many gift stalls, the Ashley
farm shop, chocolate tombola, face painting, home baked cakes and refreshments. Proceeds from the festival will be shared
between St Andrew’s Church, the Village Hall and the British Heart foundation.
The final figure for the fund raising is estimated to be over £8,000. The continuing success of the festival is
due to all the hard work put in by volunteers from the village community. The Vicar, the Churchwardens and the Church
Council, together with the 2015 festival organising committee are grateful to
everyone who gave up their time to make it happen, and to everyone who entered
and decorated a tree and thought up wonderfully inventive titles.
