The Festival was very successful. Thanks so much to all who contributed to, supported or visited the Festival. It felt like the community bouncing back and reconnecting with itself after a very challenging eighteen months or so.

More than 1300 people atteended the festival over the three days –  up on last time.

Over 800 votes were cast in the People’s Choice poll for the favourite tree.

The top 5 (from 37 sponsored trees) were:

1. Biodiversity Bloxham (appearing at the Festival for the first time and deserved winners – well done to them!)
2. Bloxham Boys’ Brigade
3. The Dogwalkers
4. Bloxham CofE Primary School
5. BYHP (Banbury Young Homelessness Project)

207 messages were placed on the dedicated Prayer and Memorial Trees.

We’ll report on funds raised from the Festival when the final figure is available
