As well as Christmas trees and wreaths, villagers are being invited to display items which celebrate creation, creativity and ways of caring for our environment.

“How people interpret this is very much up to them,” says Maryon Avery on behalf of the church council. “We are looking forward to seeing what they come up with.”
