Kineton Christmas tree trail with 'Heroes of 2020' theme raises more than £2,000 for charity

For the third year in a row the people of Kineton and Little Kineton decorated themed Christmas trees around the village as part of an initiative launched by Gill Hawtin, the owner of Flower Thyme in the village.

This years much theme for the Christmas tree trail was 'Heroes and Heroines.' The trail of trees across the village honoured such heroes and heroines as Elvis Presley to Florence Nightingale to Captain Tom (Captain Sir Thomas Moore), to honouring military veterans and police officers, to another remembering the firefighters from 9/11 to children's characters like Fireman Sam and Toy Story.

People could buy a map in local village shops to the trail, which stretched into nearby Little Kineton for £2.50.

Map sales from the 2020 trail raised a record amount of £2245.98.

The money will be divided between The Friends of Kineton Primary School and St Peters church restoration fund.
