A Christmas tree festival will be held for the fifth year at a Worcester church.

Canon Ken Boyce has organised the festival with the help of church and local groups at St Martin’s Worcester since 2007.

This year the church has been lined with about 20 Christmas trees decorated with linen handkerchiefs, Monopoly money, musical instruments and angels made by Sunday school children using pictures of their own faces.

Among those who have decorated the trees are pupils from Red Hill primary school, Stanley Road primary school and Fort Royal community primary school.

Also taking part are the St Martin’s Brownies, the London Road playgroup and church groups.

Church spokesman Shirley Scott said: “The rector thought it was a beautiful way to decorate the church.”

The festival runs every day from 10am to 4pm until Friday, January 6.
