A grand total of 54 trees lit up St Michael’s Church for the Christmas Tree Festival last weekend.

Community groups including Andover Young Carers and Andover Flower Club showed off their creative, unique trees.

The Muddy Runners group also arranged a run to finish at the church where they added running gear to their tree.

The Mayor and Mayoress also made an appearance for the Sunday of festivities.

Festival spokesperson Wendy Atkinson said: “Once again we were amazed at the quality of imagination and work that had gone into the creation of the trees.

“This is the third time they have run the festival and each year new community groups have joined us and the number of trees entered has grown.

“St Michael's Church were delighted with the response to their Christmas Tree Festival this year, and the Sunday service was held in among the trees on Sunday morning which made for an interesting and intimate experience.”
