Pocklington School pupils are taking part in this year’s Pocklington Christmas Tree Festival which is being held at All Saints Church.

Student members of the Eco-Committee designed a tree adorned entirely in recycled decorations.

A school spokesperson said: “The students from the School Eco Committee were very proud of their tree.

“They crafted stars, decorations and chains from old books and cardboard boxes, and printed their own wrapping paper and cards with a linocut acorn design. Only the lights were new.”

The festival is very popular with residents and visitors alike, providing a delightful focus for people in the run up to Christmas.

All the trees have been decorated by local businesses and charities.
