LANGFORD Lakes Christmas Tree Farm is looking for a ‘community hero’ to help officially open its Christmas shop.

The tree farm at Middle Hill Farm in Langford Budville is seeking nominations for someone who does a lot for charity, who has overcome an illness or personal difficulty, who has inspired others or who works in a caring role.

They will cut the ribbon to officially open the festive shop at a preview evening on Friday, November 15 at 6pm. The chosen VIP will receive a free Christmas tree nearer to the festive season.

Nominations can be made via email to [email protected] and nominators should give details of who they wish to nominate and why. Emails must include contact details of the nominators with their address and telephone number. The closing date for nominations is Friday, October 25.

Nick Hendy from the tree farm said: “Once again, this year, we’re hoping to collect as much money as possible for Children’s Hospice South West from the sale of mince pies and teas and coffees from our launch event through to our last day of trading before Christmas on December 23.

“Last year we raised £3,662 for the organisation.”
