Horrabridge Nativity Scene Festival
The Festival of Nativity Scenes at St John’s, Horrabridge, is now in its fifth year. Participants are as enthusiastic as ever and the festival is fast becoming a regular attraction in the pre-Christmas period. Most of the village groups contribute a nativity scene for display in the church. Exhibits are also produced by neighbouring churches and by individuals, filling every nook and cranny of the church. The exhibits have sometimes included a huge variety of materials, with scenes constructed from cardboard, wood, flowers, felt, paper, cloth, candles, and any other material you can think of - the ingenuity and originality of the designs is amazing. Stars, candles and lights abound and the whole effect is magical, enhanced by visiting organists playing in the background. This year’s festival is again being well supported by many groups and individuals and is sure to be just as wonderful. Do drop in and see it. Entry is by donation and refreshments in the form of tea, coffee and cake are available. The exhibition is open daily from 10.30am – 4.30pm (Sundays 12noon – 4.30pm). The festival ends with a carol service followed by mulled wine, at 4.30pm on 9th December.
