Today (Sunday, 4 December) brings the second day of the Christmas Tree festival at St Augustine's Church, Penarth.

It will be open from noon to 5pm. 

Organiser Robert Court says: "This year we've got 40 trees and they will be placed on the side aisle. We've got all sorts of people participating in it. There are local businesses, there are school children, some local groups and individuals.

"Some of the Christmas trees are quite imaginative, they are not your ordinary Christmas tree. Some school children come up with ecological ideas.

"At the end of the day, it is a competition too. So, they get judged in various categories. We wanted to conduct this festival in the last two years but it wasn't possible. But this year people were very keen to get involved in this festival. My role is to oversee it and check that all the preparation is done."

Admission to the event is £3 for adults and children go free. There will be a variety of local music groups who will be providing seasonal entertainment.
