MOSSLEY is preparing to light up the festive season in a tree-mendous way once again this year.
That is because the town’s community centre, in conjunction with St John the Baptist Church, is holding its Christmas tree festival.
And The Correspondent is once again joining the festivities by sponsoring one, which will be decorated by pupils of Mossley Hollins High School.
The centre and church, on Roughtown Road, will resemble a winter wonderland of 30 twinkling trees.
All will be decorated by different schools or community groups and sponsored by local businesses, including this title.
The festival will be open on Friday, December 6, and Saturday, December 7, from 3.30pm until 8.30pm and Sunday, December 8, from 11am to 3pm, following the Sunday service.
There will also be community carols in the church at 2pm on the 8th.
Admission is free but donations will be gratefully received.
There will be a cafe selling refreshments including the popular mulled cider, a bottle tombola, a soft toy tombola, Name the Elf, entertainment, and music.
Mossley Community Centre described it as ‘a truly magical community event’ which is ‘not to be missed.’
