Welcome to the Festival of Trees 2024!
This exciting annual project involves organisations, community groups and individuals coming together in the decoration of a one-off Christmas tree. The trees are then prominently displayed to the public at Quayside MediaCityUK shopping mall for six weeks in the run up to Christmas. Customers can browse and place a bid on their favourite tree. All money raised will be used to support the work of Francis House.
With thanks to our sponsors Towers Business Park and Quayside MediaCityUK.
How it Works
Donate
Organisations, community groups and individuals donate to decorate a tree with fantastic gifts attached. Each tree comes complete with lights, ready to be placed straight in your home or business – there’s no need to decorate!
Bid
Customers can browse and place a bid on their favourite tree in our shop or online. To bid, we just need your name and contact details to let you know if someone outbids you or if you win. You may need to check your junk folder for email notifications.
Collect
Whoever has the highest bid on each tree by closing time on 8th December will receive an email with instructions to pay. Once payment is made, we will be in touch to arrange collection of the tree. The pop up shop remains open until 14th December, one week after bidding ends (subject to stock levels).
