December | 2023 | Friends of Parkinson's Park CIC

The St Oswald’s Christmas Tree Festival is now on Monday -Saturday, 10am – 5pm throughout December. There are displays of trees decorated by local schools, uniformed groups, voluntary organizations and businesses.

Friend’s of Parkinson’s Park have added to the collection with our Christmas display of The Garden of Eden – and yes, there is an Adam and Eve together with a snake.

The whole festival creates a lovely atmosphere in the church for the Advent and Christmas season, with some very creative decorations.

Thanks go to everyone who provided items for FOPPs tree, we are pleased to be able to support this event.

PS If you’d like one of the last copies of the Guiseley Jubilee Oak there are some available in St Oswalds.

Memory Stars and Snowflakes.

The stars and snowflakes in memory of your loved ones (human or pets) are up again this year at the small Kelcliffe Lane entrance . New ones have joined old ones from previous years – although a few older ones are now too weather worn and have had to be discarded.

They look lovely ‘twinkling’ in the snow as they hang from the branches of the old hawthorn trees. They will be lit by ‘fairy lights’ just before dusk

If you’d like to have one added please email Joanne Brooks at parkinsonspark@gmail.com before 10th December.

Cold but Beautiful

The cold weather has made the Park look picturesque which has brought out the photographers – here are a selection that have been pasted on Facebook by Matt Barker, Liakat Ali Parapia, and Jennifer Kirkby.
