Dedication Trees - A Living Tribute - Celebrate, Remember, and Give Thanks
This Christmas, we’re delighted to introduce a new and meaningful way to be part of Worcester Cathedral’s much-loved Christmas Tree Festival.
We invite you to dedicate one of the real miniature Christmas trees that will adorn our ancient Chapter House to someone special — in memory of a loved one, in celebration of someone who inspires you, or simply to say thank you.
In partnership with St Peter’s Garden Centre*, there are 60 trees available for dedication, each priced at £55.

For £55, your Dedication Tree will:

• Be beautifully displayed in the Cathedral’s Chapter House throughout the festive season (dates), with your personal dedication message on display
• Be adorned with your choice of decorative topper     
• Be seen and appreciated by tens of thousands of visitors
• Be yours to take home in January — to plant, nurture, and enjoy for years to come.
  
  

This is a wonderful opportunity for you, your family, and friends to take part in a cherished tradition, while creating a lasting tribute that grows beyond Christmas.
Join us in making this season one of celebration, remembrance, and thanks.

Peaceful Moments Therapy
I am a psychologist and psychotherapist based in Worcester, working with children, young people, and adults to support their emotional wellbeing, especially around anxiety and stress. My passion is to create a safe and compassionate space where people feel truly listened to and encouraged on their journey of healing.
This is now the third year I have had the joy of taking part in the Christmas Tree Festival, and each time I have been touched by the overwhelming amount of positive feedback it receives. It is more than just a festive event – it creates a sense of warmth, hope, and togetherness that resonates deeply with me both personally and professionally.
For many, the festive season can bring mixed emotions, and I’ve always felt that the Cathedral offers a place of light and comfort , something I discovered myself when I moved here 11 years ago. I’m truly honoured to support the Festival again and to be part of something that brings so much joy to our community.
