The Festival of Nativity Scenes at St John’s, Horrabridge, is now in its fourth year and is fast becoming a regular attraction in the pre-Christmas period. Most of the village organisations contribute nativity scenes for display in the church in a wide variety of materials. Exhibits are also produced by neighbouring churches and by individuals, filling every nook and cranny of the church. Scenes are constructed from cardboard, wood, flowers, felt, paper, material, candles and any other material you can imagine. The ingenuity of the designs is amazing, and scenes have even been made in the form of Minions, as well as one with the baby Jesus in a table tennis net for a crib. 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 enthusiastically 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 Festival ends with a carol service followed by mulled wine at 4.30pm on 10th December.
The exhibition is open daily from 10.30am – 4.30pm, except Sundays when it opens at 12 noon.
