October 25th will be the last day you can order an outside tree.

The village of Titchfield shines and sparkles at Christmas time with a blaze of light as local residents display a Christmas tree in a bracket fixed to the outside of their houses.

Each year a group of village volunteers get together to co-ordinate the tree display by ordering a bulk delivery of trees which are then delivered to a central collection point in the village The volunteers then prepare the trees to fit the brackets.

The group also organise trees for village community buildings like the Parish Rooms and a tree for the ‘Green'.

The company who supply the trees have an early deadline this year so the order-by date is earlier this year.

The Christmas Tree team are concerned that they have around half the normal orders and they will not be carrying spares this year, only paid orders will be supplied.

Trees are available for Titchfield Village residents only.

Make sure you get your order in and tell your neighbours!

Order forms are available at Daisy B’s and at Hadlows.
