Every year Titchfield village celebrates Christmas by local residents displaying a lit Christmas tree in a bracket fixed to the outside of their houses. Would you like to join in - or join us again - and have an outdoor tree this year?
We know that with the current economic situation, costs rising and Christmas approaching a number of people may decide an outside Christmas tree is a luxury that they cannot afford and we completely understand.
East Street ‘Ablaze’
We have tried to keep costs down for you.
We have approached our supplier and we will be able to supply a 4ft Norway Spruce tree at £13.50 which is the same price as last year. This is a different variety of Christmas tree from the Nordmann tree which we normally supply.
Nordmann trees are more expensive so, in-order to still light up Titchfield, we have chosen this variety of tree. The difference between the two types of trees is that Nordmann trees are a glossy green colour and have big needles with good needle retention. They are slower growing.
Norway Spruce trees have classic fresh Christmas fragrance and structure (pyramid shape) Their needle retention is not as good but they are fine outdoors and are used in Trafalgar Square and 10 Downing Street. They are a faster growing tree.
Order Forms are available from Hadlows the Butchers.
Thank you for joining us in lighting Titchfield for Christmas please place your order to guarantee a Christmas tree.
The trees will be ready for you to collect from 9.30am - 1.30pm on Saturday 3rd December from the Yard entrance, going up West Street from village Yard is on left before path to Garsons. These trees are available for Titchfield Village residents - outside trees only. Please tell your neighbours and friends in the village if they do not know.
We are a group of local volunteers who co-ordinate the trees; placing an order for 300 English grown trees. They are delivered to the village for collection. The trees will be trimmed but may need further trimming by you to fit into your bracket. T
he large Christmas Tree on the green is sponsored again this year by Hadlows the butchers and with lights provided by Freemantles, Insurance sponsored by the Village Trust, transport by Mark Harris and the star by Tony Traves.
