A TOWN will be buzzing with festive cheer when its Christmas Tree Festival kicks off tomorrow.

The celebration in Epping is due to start at 1pm at St John’s church in St John’s Road, where 60 trees will be unveiled, and a market will be set up in the High Street from 1pm, with Santa’s grotto in the fire station from 4pm.

The trees, which have been decorated by groups, schools, businesses and individuals, will be on display until Monday and refreshments and festive stalls will be on offer in the church.
