Tree festival: It has been a busy weekend here in Burwash. The St Bartholomew's Chrisrmas tree festival was held on Friday, Saturday & Sunday. This attracted lots of visitors and was as always a delightful event. A lot of thought had gone into the decorations for the trees by the different groups and societies and was a fantastic sight. Well done to all who had input and to those who organised the event. It was well worth a visit.
