“We had a Christmas fair alongside the trees and cribs and on the Saturday night we had a carol service with mince pies and mulled wine.

“It was smashing. We raised at least £1,500 for the church.”

It is the third Christmas tree and crib festival hosted by Holy Trinity.

The church also hosts a popular jigsaw festival in the summer months.
