We’re very grateful as a church to our partners, Life Dronfield for taking the lead in organising the Christmas Tree Festival, it wouldn’t be happening without them ! .
There are lots of opportunities for everyone to get involved , why not volunteer to help at one of the sessions or provide a prize for the raffle? As well as coming along and enjoying the spectacle of the trees of course!

The Parish Church and Life Dronfield are committed to being more inclusive and accessible to all , so we’re all really pleased to say that two separate quiet hours have been designated during the Festival to enable anyone, children or adults for whom the sensory impact of all the lights and music would be a barrier to come and enjoy the trees in a quieter, more chilled environment.
The quiet hours are:
Saturday 27th November between 10.00am and 11.00am and
Saturday 5th December 10.00 till 11.00.
If you are or know anyone who would like to come in the quiet hours we look forward to welcoming you .

So many people have already volunteered to help us run the Dronfield Christmas Tree Festival and we are sovery grateful!

We still have a few slots available, particularly on the Friday evening which will be our busiest night, so we need the biggest team!

We are delighted to be working in partnership with Life - Dronfield for this year’s Christmas Tree Festival. Please use their form to sign up for a tree! 🌲

As you may have heard Dronfield Parish Church were unable to run the Christmas Tree Festival this year. Life Dronfield are making sure the much-loved event is going ahead this year, but it will be slightly paired down as it's our first time running it.

Due to the very high demand for trees, signing up does not guarantee you with a space. Please apply before 28th October.

https://forms.gle/5wjn8nzUhdxFYEhZ7

Priority will be given to local charities, schools and faith groups. We will let you know by 29th October if you are successful in the tree lottery.

We are very sorry, but we do not have access to the previous form so if you have already completed an application for 2026 on the old form, please reapply using this form. 🎄

We’re absolutely delighted to welcome Lucy Kitchener as our new Director of Music and the choir are really looking forward to growing and developing under Lucy’s leadership. Watch this space for more information in the next few weeks.
As a choir we’re a small, welcoming and inclusive group, so if you’ve ever wondered about whether being part of the church choir might be for you get in touch!
