Masham’s Christmas Tree Festival will be held again this year following the popularity of last year's event. 

The event in St Mary’s Church, will run from Friday, December 13, to Sunday, December 15.

The first festival, held last year, saw more than 400 families enjoy the seasonal atmosphere, music and refreshments.

Refreshments and mulled wine will be available throughout the day, along with Christmas music, including performances by local choirs and musicians.

The event is open on Friday and Saturday from 10am to 4pm and Sunday from noon onwards, ending with a carol service at 6pm.

Admission is £3 for adults, with children under 16 free, raising funds to support St Mary’s Church in Masham.

Jean Jones, who is heading up the organising committee, said: “It’s a great chance to get into the Christmas spirit and be inspired by a host of Christmas trees inside the beautiful St Mary’s Church created by Masham’s local community groups, businesses and individuals.

"This year, you will also be able to vote for your favourite tree which will then be awarded special recognition.”

To enter a tree, pick up a registration form from the Mashamshire Community Office in Little Market Place, Masham before December 2.
