Festive forest sparkles at Keynsham church

ALMOST 2,000 people braved the wet and windy weather to visit the Christmas tree festival at St John’s Church in Keynsham.

Visitors young and old enjoyed the glittering spectacle of trees decorated by 48 local community groups.

There were refreshments and crafts, too, and visitors were entertained all weekend by a programme of local choirs, bands and musicians.

The organisers said: “A huge thank-you must go to the people of Keynsham for making it such a successful eighth Christmas tree festival.”
