A huge thank you to all those who attended the Bedford Christmas Tree Festival this year. There was a display of more than 70 Christmas trees and over 40 performances – all by local schools and community groups!

Opening times: 03 Dec 2025, 10:00 – 07 Dec 2025, 16:00
Venue: St Paul’s Church, St Paul’s Square, Bedford MK40 1SQ, UK

This year St Paul’s Church hosted a 5-day festival where you could view over 70 charity Christmas trees as well as the following:

• Fizz at the Festival (Wednesday 3 December 6 – 8pm). Your chance to view the display of over 70 Christmas trees at their finest, when its dark outside and the lights are all twinkling.
• The Bedford Christmas Tree Festival Concert 2025 (Friday 5 December 7.30pm). This year we are delighted to be joined once again by the fabulous Amici Music – to celebrate our 25th festival, 25 talented musicians will perform Bach, Mozart, Vivaldi, and seasonal pieces.

The theme for 2025 was Past, Present and Future and our tree consisted of feedback directly from people who have been supported by RVT and received our service – a massive thank you to Freya and Bob Panton who put a lot of time and effort into putting this beautiful tree together for us ❤

To view our RVT tree, please head along and support the event!
