Avril and Chris Rowlands’ annual lighting ceremony for their 50ft Christmas tree in Inkberrow has become a beloved tradition, drawing around 200 attendees. The couple planted the tree in 1978, and the event has raised over £25,000 for various charities, with this year’s funds going to the Midlands Air Ambulance. The festivities include a switch-on ceremony featuring fireworks and refreshments, making it a cherished start to the festive season for many families in the community.
