Penarth Christmas Tree Festival returns to St Augustine's Church over the weekend of December 6th - 8th.

Admission is £3.00 for adults, children free. New this year the Festival will be opened by Penarth Town Mayor at 6pm on Friday December 6th (Open until 9pm). On Saturday the opening times are 11am - 5pm, and on Sunday 12pm - 5pm.

Forty-eight trees will be on display and you can expect a stunning display of creativity, wit and festive exuberance!

As you wander around admiring the trees, a variety of local music groups will be providing seasonal entertainment.

And if that's not enough, refreshments and home-made produce will be available in the church hall on Saturday and Sunday!

The event is also a competition and trees have been entered in categories for schools in the town, businesses, local groups and individuals. And, of course, there is a Visitors' Prize which everyone can vote for.

The festival always supports three charities, one global, one national and one local.

The nominated charities this year are: Water Aid, The Multiple Sclerosis Society, and Penarth Lifeboat Station
