Local Tipperary town announces dates for annual Christmas tree festival
Nenagh's Christmas tree festival takes place from December 10 to 14
The 10th annual Christmas Tree Festival at the Church of Ireland in Nenagh will take place from December 10 to 14.
Trees and exhibits should be brought to the church on either December 6 or 8, with organisers asking that those interested register their entry at [email protected].
The full schedule is: Wednesday to Friday is 1pm to 5:30pm, with pre-booking for school groups in the mornings, using the above email address to submit prior booking.
Saturday 11am to 6pm, followed by the Carol Service and Sunday 11am to 6pm, followed by a short closing ceremony to announce Christmas Tree Prize winners and raffle prizes.
As always, afternoon teas will be available for €8 with OAPs and students €5, seasonal produce and bric-a-brac for sale, a raffle with wonderful prizes, and the chance to view around 80 beautiful exhibits.
Organisers say they never knew how artistic their friends and neighbours were until they saw some of the remarkable work done for this festival.
For a €5 entry fee (kids free) you can enjoy all this, and vote for your favourite tree.
The proceeds are in aid of the Nenagh Union of Parishes and our charity partner, which this year is North Tipperary Hospice Cancer Support Centre at Suaimhneas, Nenagh.
Organisers say all are very welcome to join and enjoy the Christmas Tree Festival.
