A CHRISTMAS tree festival is set once again to cast a spell over the city as organisers say it will be 'bigger than ever' this year.
The Christmas Tree Festival 2024 is due to take place at Worcester Cathedral between Thursday, December 5 and Monday, January 6.
Every year the Medieval Cloisters of Worcester Cathedral are lined with Christmas trees designed and decorated by local schools, charities, businesses and other organisations.
It is expected there will be over 150 trees on display. Visitors can enjoy the festival during normal visiting hours between 10am and 5pm, Monday to Saturday and 12.30pm to 3pm on Sundays. The cathedral is open for visiting between 10am and noon on Christmas Eve. The cathedral is open for services only (no visiting) on Christmas Day.
As part of the festival, ‘All is Calm, All is Bright’ – Your Cathedral at Night takes place on
Thursday, December 12, Monday, December 16 and Thursday, December 19 between 7.30pm to 9.30pm.

A spokesperson for the Cathedral said: "After the sun has set the sparkle on our trees is that little bit more special. Come and spend your evening with us, a glass of mulled wine and a mince pie in hand, in your Cathedral at Night. Explore the building with members of our team providing a Christmas themed insight into its history, and enjoy an exclusive evening viewing of the Christmas Tree Festival too."
Well-behaved dogs on a short lead are welcome in the Cathedral during the Christmas period, including to the Christmas Tree Festival and Christmas Fayre. During particularly busy times the Cathedral asks owners to be mindful of the limited space in the cloisters for the comfort of all of visitors.
Worcester Cathedral’s Christmas Tree Festival 2024 is sponsored by Haus Installations and Nicol & Co.
