The Melton Mowbray Christmas Tree Festival is often a highlight of our Christmas … it’s a magical event, in the beautiful St Mary’s Church, with absolutely scores of trees to enjoy.

The level of creativity on display this year is outstanding. We’ve made our small contribution, so as the Festival is open today, 2nd December, why not go along … and keep an eye out for the Cafe Allez! tree when you do.

Claire has designed and made lots of miniature Van Henris. Unlike the real thing, they feature reliably working headlights, and the tree’s topped with a highly appropriate logo…

We hope you get to enjoy the Festival this year as much as we do!
