Brightlingsea’s annual Christmas Tree Festival takes place over the weekend of December 13 & 14 in All Saints’ Church – and there’s still plenty of time to get your entry in.

Entering a tree is free of charge and is open to individuals, families, groups and businesses and trees can be any size (within reason!) or shape, fresh or artificial and the only limit on decorations is your imagination.

Entries close on Friday December 5, and you can find more details on the festival website.
