What is Treefest?

Treefest is a spectacular festive display of Christmas trees held within the splendid gothic church of St Mary Redcliffe.

Treefest is an opportunity for local people, schools, businesses, charities, community groups and other organisations to decorate a tree and display it  in the atmospheric gothic surrounds of St Mary Redcliffe. It's a good opportunity to tell our 1000s of visitors about your organisation for free, while helping to raise money for local charities.

Musical performances

We have a wonderful festive music programme to entertain you during Treefest, featuring a variety of local musical performers.

Treefest market

Better Events will be bringing a taste of local to Christmas again this year, with their festive market in the Undercroft at St Mary Redcliffe. Running from 6-8 December during Treefest, come and join us for Bristol-based artists, craftspeople and gifts, plus a bite to eat! We will be running every day with around 20 stalls, plus workshops and Santa might even pop in to say hi!

Christmas shop

Be sure to visit Jackie in our church shop for a range of cards, jewellery, gifts, books, decorations and festive treats!
