Treefest
Thanks to everyone who took part in this year's special online version of Treefest. The winning tree, with 43% of the vote, was AGE UK Bristol’s.
Overall, 478 votes were cast during December, and the amount raised so far is £800.00, which is a magnificent effort from those who took part and a great response from the public. Thanks to all who submitted a tree this year, to those who voted and those who have donated.
You can take a look at the winning tree along with all of the other entries here. And find out about the causes that will be supported by this year's event, here.
Thanks again to all who took part!

We've seen lots of amazing work in the visitor services department so far this year. SMR stewards have generated over £4,500 donations between January and April 2026 and welcomed over 5000 visitors to the Church. We are welcoming new tour guides to the front of house team with the eventual goal to expand the number of tours we are able to offer to the public. Janet and Reuben have both done their first tours and have received wonderful reviews from visitors. If you are interested in volunteering on the front of house team please contact me on lucy.marshall@stmaryredcliffe.co.uk . We have had some amazing feedback from our outreach events as we aim to welcome not only those familiar with SMR but also those that have never been before. These have included film screenings, talks and most recently the Redcliffe Sessions which raised just under £150 for our Lent charity partner, CALM. Thank you to all those who have supported these. The next Redcliffe Session will be in support of SMR and will feature Bristol band Dogsbody on guitar, cello and violin, and songwriter, Alex Pester on 13th June. I am very excited looking into the rest of 2026 for our future events run both in house and by external hirers, more information of which can be found on our website. If you are interested in volunteering at any future SMR events please let me know! Lucy Marshall Visitor Services Coordinator 06.05.2026
