For fourteen years Wombourne village has held its annual Christmas Tree Festival at the Wombourne United Reformed Church venue. Over time the festival has evolved until, in recent years, it has run in mid-December with a varied timetable of events. Approximately sixty village organisations have provided decorated Christmas trees throughout the church, the Allen Hall and the meeting room. The festival is open to all, with free admission to the public and with the trees in no competition save for the general public discussing their preference. The inborn competitive nature of the contributors has ensured that the standard over the years has risen markedly.

Over the years the festival has raised thousands of pounds for charities of all kinds, mainly in the local area. We would like to continue this tradition and would ask you if you wish to donate to go to the ‘JustGiving’ link on the website or to choose a charity which you would prefer to support. 

Although in 2020 this virtual festival has replaced the traditional one, it is hoped that when times return to what used to be normal, both original and virtual festivals might run side by side. Please upload a Christmas tree photo if you wish, or otherwise feel free to explore the site, looking at trees past and present and listening to some of our seasonal music.

This event wouldn’t be possible if not for the hard work of the organisers and those who have contributed. We also want to take a moment to thank and pay tribute to John Bowler, who sadly passed away earlier this year. 

We wish you all a safe, happy and healthy Christmas.
