What it is

This is the fifth year of the festival. The organiser says it welcomed more than 4,600 visitors in 2025, and that more than 60 trees are booked for 2026, decorated by local organisations, schools, charities and families. Visitors vote for their favourite tree in the People’s Choice awards, which are presented by the Mayor of Royal Leamington Spa at 3pm on the final Sunday.

There is also a Tree of Remembrance, supported by the Rotary Club of Royal Leamington Spa, where you can write a message for someone you have lost and hang it on the tree. The 2026 charity partner is ARC (Achieving Results in Communities), which runs woodland wellbeing programmes and community gardens in Warwick District.

Opening times, day by day

The organiser marks the Advent service and the charity concert as evening events with doors before the start. Last year the charity concert needed a ticket, so check before you turn up for it.

The hours are shorter than last year’s. In 2025 the festival opened 11am to 6pm on weekdays, according to the organiser’s 2025 page. In 2026 it opens an hour earlier and closes an hour earlier, so a visit after work means the Thursday late night.

Live music and performances

The festival programme gives each performer’s day and time. It says times may change.

The People’s Choice vote picks gold, silver and bronze trees. Pick up a voting slip, write the number of your favourite tree on it and put it in the box by the front desk. A Little Leam Tree Fest zone has colouring and bauble decorating for children throughout.

Free decoration workshops in November

Before the festival opens, Whittle Productions is running free drop-in workshops at community venues around the town. You make a Christmas decoration from recycled and upcycled materials, either for the community tree at the festival or to take home. Everything is provided, all ages are welcome and there is no booking, according to the Eventbrite listing:

The workshops are supported by Royal Leamington Spa Town Council and Warwickshire Libraries. There are more workshops inside the church from 1pm to 5pm on the festival’s opening weekend.

Getting there and parking

All Saints’ is on the south side of the river, close to the station and the bottom of the Parade. The organiser’s own travel notes say:

• Train: Leamington Spa station is a five to ten minute walk.
• Bus: buses stop right outside the church; ask for “Parish Church”.
• Blue Badge: spaces to the left of the church as you face it, on Priory Terrace.
• Bikes: racks to the left of the main front door.
• Cars: 20 minutes on-street on Priory Terrace and two hours on nearby roads. The organiser says on-street parking is free south of the river but charged north of it, and points to the small car parks at Bath Place and Packington Place.

The church is fully accessible apart from one display area of about six trees, which has two steps. Café Tisto, the Ukrainian café inside All Saints’, serves food, coffee and cakes during the festival.

Our parking in Leamington page has the council car parks and tariffs, and the roadworks and travel page has any closures that week. Watch for Sunday 6 December: the Santa Dash is in Victoria Park that morning and the Lantern Parade sets off from the Pump Room Gardens at about 5pm, so the town is busy all day.

Other Christmas tree festivals nearby
