| The Edinburgh Christmas Tree Festival
at St Andrew's and St George's West Edinburgh
Come and find the real spirit of Christmas
Our Christmas Tree Festival invites local businesses, charities and groups in Edinburgh to decorate a tree in our sanctuary to help raise funds for local homeless charities. Last year over £2,000 in donations was raised for Rock Trust, Bethany Trust and Fresh Start.
The aim of the Festival is threefold
- to raise money for the homeless at Christmas
-to affirm and promote our local communities
- to open our lovely sanctuaries and welcome as many people as possible for a joyful celebration of Advent and Christmas
People who visited last year said....
"A lovely light in a gloomy day".
"A lovely haven in the middle of the bustle of Christmas in the city"
" a marvellous idea, full of interest and beauty. I look forward to seeing it grow in years to come".
"The real spirit of Christmas".
" what a lovely exhibition to visit in our lunch break! We look forward to next year".
