Cowley festival of Christmas trees 2020
Saturday 12th - Sunday 20th December 2020
"Joy to the World"
at St. James Church, Beauchamp Lane, Cowley, OX4 3LF
As we move from the months of lockdown and with continuing social distancing, we are delighted to be sharing the 2020 festival with you and looking forward to be 'being community' again, albeit without some of our events. The church looks beautiful with around 30 trees and a myriad of angels in the heavenly host, which we hope will bring joy to Cowley.
Come along with family and friends to view the magical display, hear live music and sit on the angel chair for a photo. Accept the challenge to estimate how many angels there are!
Sadly we cannot offer you a cup of tea or coffee and cake, or the chance to attend a concert, pop up choir or Messy Christmas party but a group from Jubilee Brass will play in the churchyard on Saturday 12 December, 11.30-12.30
Entry is free : we encourage donations by cash, contactless, QR code
Our 'Cowley United' festival in 2019 raised £1,500 shared between our two local children's charities,
ROSY and SeeSaw (see links below)
