TWENTY-five decorative trees will be on display at the Rock Methodist Church from Tuesday (December 17) for the Yelverton Christmas Tree Festival.

The trees have been sponsored and decorated by local businesses and organisations, and this year, festival organisers have arranged extended opening times. The festival will be open from 10.30am to 6.30pm from Tuesday, December 17 to Saturday, December 21.

On Sunday at 10.30am, everyone is invited to join the carol service with mince pies and tea or coffee to follow. The Christmas trees may also be viewed from 2pm to 4.30pm on Sunday afternoon.

Admission to the festival is free with donations invited for ShelterBox and Rock Building Restoration Fund. Refreshments are also available.
