Launceston’s Christmas tree is up, and the lights aren’t far off

A crane, a chainsaw and a lot of hi-vis. That’s what it took to get Launceston’s Christmas tree standing in the Town Square this year.

Another tree from Stacey’s Tree Farm

Launceston Town Council has shared the news that the tree has arrived, and once again it has come from Stacey’s Tree Farm. The council called it a beautiful tree.

It didn’t get there on its own. The council has thanked Ben Howton and EJ Fry and Son for their help, both lending a hand again this year.

Making it safe for the season

Getting a tree that size upright is one job. Keeping it there through the winter is another.

The council’s own grounds team worked alongside Tree Two One to make sure the tree is secure for the weeks ahead.

When the lights go on

For now it stands undecorated in the square. That changes soon.

The Mayor, Cllr Nicola Gilbert, is looking forward to the Christmas lights switch-on, which takes place on Friday 27 November.
