Tree and Crib Festival at St. Nicholas

St. Nicholas Church Preservation Trust and St. Nicholas Church are considering holding a “Tree and Crib Festival” to take place in the church in December 2011.  The event would take place over 3-4 days between the Christmas Fair and Christmas and will be fundraising event for the church fabric and the organ.   

Individuals, businesses, societies, schools, colleges, groups and charities are invited to participate by creating an exhibit on the theme of “tree” and “crib”, interpreted loosely to allow for original creative thought, with a  fee of £10 per exhibit (half price for schools and colleges).  

Before this project is taken further, the Trust would like to gauge enthusiasm from the town.  If you are interested, please email Paul Davies at paulpearce@yarmouth8143.freeserve.co.uk.

The church is faced with serious problems with deteriorating pinnacles on the tower and a failing Victorian pipe organ.  Long term ambitions include improving the heating.  To see further fundraising initiatives organised by the Trust, click here
