The Christmas Tree Festival this year takes place from Thursday 1st - Sunday 4th December.  Opening times are from 11am - 6pm Thursday and Friday,  10.30am - 7pm on Saturday  with a concert at 7.30pm and on Sunday from 11am - 5pm. Admission is free.

Two concerts are planned:

Saturday 3 December North Creedy Choral Society 7.30pm  ticket price £7.00

Sunday 4 December Holy Cross Choir 6pm ticket price £6.00 to include mulled wine and mince pies

The Festival features over 70 illuminated and decorated trees ranging from 3 to over 25 feet in height filling the church, which makes a spectacular display the length of the church, especially as the natural light began to fade!

Sustainable Crediton's tree is decorated by Sustainable Crediton's Food Group. We have chosen 'Pigs and Wonky Carrots' as our theme. Pigs, because 2016 saw the successful launch of Crediton Pig Club, which brings together pork-lovers with local smallholders to supply locally produced meat with high welfare standards and encourage an interest in small-scale animal husbandry. We are currently recruiting members for the 2017 Pig Club. Wonky carrots, to highlight our focus this year on supermarket food waste, and ways to reduce and make use of it.

Refreshments are available in the Boniface Centre and visits to the bell tower and Governors' room are a popular addition to the festival.
