The Christmas tree festival was first organised by Hythe 2000 in 2009 and has grown year on year since that time.

The festival is hosted by St John’s Church and runs from late November for a period of 2 weeks. See the diary page closer to the time for precise festival dates.

Local businesses, organisations, schools and individuals are invited to supply and decorate Christmas trees, wreaths and Christmas garlands which are put on display during the two week period of the festival. Most of the items donated will be available to purchase via a silent auction, with winning bidders being able to collect their purchases at the end of the festival.
