Boxgrove Priory Christmas Tree Festival 2023: December 8/9/10

“Sing a Song of Christmas” is the theme for this year’s Christmas Tree Festival at Boxgrove Priory which opens its doors on Friday, December 8th.

The Priory’s historic architecture and tranquil atmosphere will provide the perfect backdrop to the festival, as visitors are promised a display of many different Christmas trees, lovingly decorated by a variety of individuals and community groups from around the village.

Co-ordinator Fr Peter Bustin says “Following the terrific creativity on display at last year’s inaugural event, we are excitedly looking forward to even more imaginative interpretations of both famous and perhaps not so well-known Christmas tunes this year”

Admission is free (with donations welcome!) and festive refreshments will be available daily, together with the chance to enter a Grand Raffle to win a Fortnum’s Christmas Hamper.

Opening hours are 11am – 5pm Friday 8th and Saturday 9th with Sunday 10th 12 noon - 4 pm with all funds raised contributing to Boxgrove Priory.

Additionally, there will be an evening “Sing a Song of Christmas” event on Saturday 9th at 6.30 including Christmas carols, songs, readings for all the family and a glass of mulled wine (tickets £5, children free)
