Welcome to Cuckfield Life’s Cuckfield Christmas Tree Festival event page. Here you will find our most recent information for the Holy Trinity festival.
The first Cuckfield Christmas Tree Festival was in 2003 and it has been held almost every year. The Festival is set in the beautiful Holy Trinity Church in Cuckfield, West Sussex. Since the first festival, the total raised (as of 2024) for charity now stands at over £100,000! Without your support and help, this would not have been possible - thank you all.

Raise Your Voice at the Christmas tree festival
By Hazel Gaydon
Raise Your Voice is honoured to be the chosen charity for this year’s Cuckfield Christmas Tree Festival. With groups across Sussex, in Burgess Hill, Lewes and East Grinstead, we aim to bring music, creativity and shared joy to those living with dementia and their carers.
As an independent charity funded entirely by donations, supported by teams of volunteers, every penny counts towards our upbeat sessions, headed by three gifted professionals. Jane Haughton, experienced singer and workshop leader, together with Nancy Cooley and Jenny Bewick create imaginative programmes to stimulate brains, release voices and build a family of friends who love to sing together. You should hear our quirky version of The Magic Flute featuring Pam (Pamina) and Tam (Tamino) from this term’s creative project: Mozart mixing easily with Stevie Wonder and Burt Bacharach!
Participants report so many benefits: greater alertness, enhanced mood, reduced stress, heightened confidence, but above all, the joy of having fun. “Raise Your Voice is so very special; it does Mum and I the world of good. We all belong as equals and feel equally valued.”
The festival will run at Holy Trinity Church, Cuckfield from 4th – 6th December.
Do come along and enjoy the stunning display of trees; have a go at winning a top prize at our Raise Your Voice table in the Old School or some delicious refreshments in the festival café.
