Christmas Tree Festival 2025, Desford St Martin`s

  With a theme of Past, Present and Future the St Martins Church in Desford held their annual Christmas Tree Festival . Join me as I enter the church and we hear the beautiful sound of the St Martin`s Church Choir as they sing a variety of traditional carols . Exploring the festival with trees designed and decorated by local residents, businesses and groups we are all the time accompanied by the choir. The festival also plays host to several craft stalls selling a variety of gifts and decorations. See if you can spot Mousey Brown hiding in the video. As the choir sing Night Divine we see a knitted interpretation of the nativity . Next we see various trees including one covered in records through the years. Knitted candles adorn another tree as we end the video with a rendition of Ding Dong Merrily On High from the choir.

We go traditional next with a performance from the  @LeicesterCathedral  Choir performing Once In Royal David`s City as the lights are switched on the well known " Christmas Greetings " words, a regular part of the cities Town Hall decorations f...
