CHRISTMAS trees were decked with festive garlands for a seasonal celebration in Treborough.

The annual Christmas tree festival at St Peter's Church in the hamlet featured a total of 18 trees of different shapes and sizes.

Local people and organisations took on the task of decorating the trees, including pupils from Old Cleeve First School who produced their own handmade decorations.

Organiser Rosemary Roulston said roadworks in Roadwater may have affected the number of people taking part and visitors to the festival.

But she said crowds turned out for the finale carol service at the end of the three-day event last Sunday.

The festival raised £320 for church funds, which will go towards general renovations.
