THE SUN may be shining, but Worcester Cathedral is already looking forward to the festive season, with applications for its Christmas Tree Festival now open. 

The Cathedral is looking for any schools, businesses, charities or organisations to apply to enter a tree. 

The festival will be open to visitors between Thursday, December 5 and Monday, January 5, apart from Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. 

Further details on the festival will be released closer to the time. 

Last year, there were 134 trees for the festival at Worcester Cathedral - the most ever displayed there.
