Brighstone Christmas Tree Festival

3 – 6 December 2026
Brighstone and Mottistone, Isle of Wight

Step into the festive spirit this December as the villages of Brighstone and Mottistone are transformed by hundreds of beautifully-decorated Christmas trees.

Set across churches, halls and community spaces, each tree is uniquely adorned by local schools, charities, families and businesses, creating a heart-warming display that draws visitors from across the Island and beyond.

Entry is free, with all proceeds from the festival go towards local non-profit and charitable organisations.

With twinkling lights, friendly faces and the scent of mulled wine in the air, it’s a perfect way to begin the Christmas season.

Take a stroll through the village, browse festive stalls, and enjoy a warm welcome at local cafés and pubs all while soaking up the true spirit of the Isle of Wight’s most charming community celebration.
