CARLISLE Cathedral will be hosting its first-ever Christmas Tree Festival. 

There will be many trees on display around the historic building with the event running for a month throughout December. 

A variety of organisations have gotten involved to decorate their tree which will be displayed at the Cathedral. 

In a post on social media, Carlisle Cathedral wrote: "Come and experience Carlisle Cathedral’s first-ever Christmas Tree Festival, with 30 trees on display across the Cathedral and Undercroft from Saturday, November 30 - Tuesday, December 31. 

"Take time out of the hustle and bustle of the season to explore the trees, which will be decorated to individual themes by local charities, schools, and community groups, and add your own Christmas message to the festival’s community tree. Donations are welcomed to support the Cathedral."
