The Brighstone Christmas Tree Festival returned for its 27th event this year, spreading joy and festive cheer at West Wight venues.

This year, the festival has featured over 150 decorated trees, showcasing the creativity of Island charities, not-for-profit organisations and businesses, including the County Press tree at Wilberforce Hall.

The CP tree featured twelve of our favourite baubles designed by our readers and school children, following over 100 entries in our competition. 

Shared among various venues in and around Brighstone, including St Mary’s Church, the Methodist Church and Social Club, plus many more, this year is the 27th annual festival.

The main event got underway on December 7 and concluded on December 10, but select venues are running the event through this month – so it’s not too late to visit!

IW Pearl is hosting the event through to January 3, while Calbourne Water Mill will feature Christmas trees until December 27.
