AN ARRAY of twinkling festive trees will brighten up a Cowley church for charity this winter.

St James Church will be glistening with decorations when the Cowley Festival of Christmas Trees begins next month.

Guests will have the chance to admire the tree display decorated to this year's theme 'The Greatest Gift', while enjoying live music, sweet treats and refreshments.

Cash raised during the festival, between December 6 and 17, will help charities ROSY (Respite Nursing for Oxfordshire's Sick Youngsters) and grief-support team SeeSaw.

Last year, £2,000 was raised for the charities at the Beauchamp Lane church.
