Nearly 3,000 visitors enjoyed this year's Christmas Tree Festival at St Mary's Church in Twyford.
As well as 70 trees on display from local organizations there was a variety of entertainment which included Waltham St. Lawrence Silver Band, Berkshire Recorder Consort, Twyford and Ruscombe Theatre Group and magician Mark Shortland. Paul Bromley, who organized the event with his wife Pam, said "the number of visitors was up this year so we were happy with that.
The entertainment was great and Mark the magician was amazing.
Everybody thoroughly enjoyed his performance. "Exhibitors and visitors supplied a wide range of foodstuffs during the festival.
This will be donated to the Reading based charity Readifood, which delivers around 100 emergency food parcels each week to families and individuals throughout the local area.
