The Village Christmas Tree for 2025 is going up on 29th November to be ready to switch on and celebrate the start of Christmas for Levens on Sunday 30th November 2025

This Year we have - music from Brendan Cleary with supper from Yonder Pizza's, mulled wine and mince pies from The Lakeland Chef, Hot and Cold Drinks with Cake and biscuits from FOLS (Friends of Levens School) and much more.

Setting up stalls and music from 3pm to get going before 4pm and then a countdown and lights switch on at 5.00pm.

After last years storms we have boosted and replaced some of the LED lights, reinforced the concrete base and reinforced our tree star to hope we can be both spectacular and economical to run. Paul has worked out, the amount of time they are on, for the number of days, with a timer, it will cost less than £20 for electricity.

Thanks to Dave and Vanessa at the Shop for their usual community minded spirit and for facilitating the electricity connection. Please remember to donate what you can via donation buckets on the night, into the donations box at Levens Shop or online via the Just Giving Page

All our stall holders and caterers are also supporting our Tree Fund by giving donations from their takings on the day.

We are aware everyone’s living costs are growing, but we do appreciate all the donations the community gives to acknowledge the work, time and effort, that goes into the tree for all to enjoy. Any excess donations after costs will be split between small, local groups in Levens.

Please give whatever you are able.

We hope you all enjoy the tree and send best wishes to everyone for a happy, peaceful, restful Christmas.

Helen, Michael, Paul, Kevin, David, James, Dave and many more helping in the run up to errect the tree.
