About this Event
It's reached that time of year again and Halifax Minster is proud to announce its 10th Christmas Tree Festival, running from Friday 4th December - Monday 7th December. The Minster is filled with the sight and scent of over 40 Christmas Trees, all available to be sponsored. You may choose to decorate your tree to promote your organisation or business, honour the memory of a loved one or just as an excuse to get festive!
After the festival, the trees remain on display in the Minster until the New Year.
Sponsors can choose between a 6ft tree at £145 or a 9ft tree at £195. The trees are allocated for decoration on a first-come, first-served basis on Tuesday December 1st and Wednesday December 2nd from 9am - 4pm. The trees come provided with a stand and lights already in position, many stand on top of the pews for a greater effect.
This year there is a Festival Launch Concert and Preview evening on Thursday December 3rd at 7pm, hosted by former BBC Radio Leeds presenter, Andrew Edwards.. Sponsors will receive 2 complementary tickets to this event. Tickets will go on sale to the public soon
The Festival is open to the public from 10-4pm daily from Friday December 4th - Monday 7th December. (On Sunday it opens later, at 12pm after the Morning Service, surrounded by all the trees). Activities, live music and refreshments are available during the Festival. Booking isn't necessary to visit the Minster, although for larger groups, please contact [email protected] in advance! During the festival, adult entry is £3.00, Children - FREE. Payment by card is preferred for entry.
After the Festival the trees remain on display in the Minster but are rearranged to maximise the available seating for the Christmas period. Sponsors should remove their decorations on Sunday January 3rd or Monday January 4th.
In 2025 over 16,000 visitors were welcomed to the Minster in December - your decorated tree could be seen by a similar number this year!
