Stamford Lions Christmas Tree Festival: Celebrating 30 Years of Festive Cheer

The festive season in Stamford, Lincolnshire, sparkling brighter than ever as the Stamford & District Lions Club hosts its 30th Anniversary Christmas Tree Festival in 2025. This annual event, held in the stunning historic setting of St John The Baptist Church, marks a significant milestone in the town's Christmas calendar.

The Christmas Tree Festival transforms the stone-walled interior of St John The Baptist Church into a magical forest of light and creativity. While the Stamford Lions have organised the festival for many years, they acknowledge and thank the community members who initiated and ran it in the early days, leading to this impressive 30-year anniversary.

The festival typically runs from the end of November into mid-December, coinciding with the start of the Christmas season. It has become a crucial tradition, bringing together the local community for a shared celebration of charity and creativity.

The festival often runs in conjunction with the Cards for Good Causes pop-up shop, further enhancing the opportunity for visitors to support various charities while enjoying the festive display.
