Winners of the Christmas Tree Festival!
Lichfield Cathedral is delighted to announce the winners of 2017 Christmas Tree Festival:
Business – Pool House Veterinary Group
Charity – Target Ovarian Cancer

The festival ran from 2 December 2017 - 3 January 2018, with over 50 beautiful Nordmann Fir trees sourced from Bishop Offley Christmas Trees. Visitors were able to vote for their favourite tree, or trees, in the display. Over 8,500 votes were cast, and over £13,000 raised for The Friends of Lichfield Cathedral, who support the work of the Cathedral.
Three prayer trees were also sponsored by Robert Kilgour Architects, Keelys LLP Solicitors, and Greenwood Projects. Visitors were able to decorate the trees with their prayers at Christmas.
The prayers will be offered at the Eucharist for the Feast of Candlemas on 2 February, at 17.30.
