Xmas tree festival sparkly logo - sparkly lo-res

 

This is the 9th annual Tree Festival organised by Taunton United Reformed Church. Each tree is sponsored by a group or organisation that is either charitable or not-for-profit. Some are well-known, others less so; all contribute to community by relying largely on the goodwill, time and energy of volunteers.

The event is organised principally to help to raise public awareness of the several groups and organisations which work tirelessly for the good of others and the enrichment of society.

There are a number of new exhibitors this year and several charities which are not displaying. Please bear in mind as you look round that, for some of the organisations that have participated in recent years, there simply is not the spare capacity to take part by decorating a tree. This is a measure of the strain on society.

We hope you will be dazzled by the trees and by what you learn about our tree sponsors. Please enjoy some refreshments as you take a rest from Christmas shopping.
