Heart of Newhaven’s Tallest Knitted Christmas Tree

The opening of the Tallest Knitted Christmas Tree was held on November 30th in front of a huge audience.

Our champion volunteer Pat Wilson cut the ribbon, the Newhaven Choir sang beautifully and then people were able to enjoy the craft stalls and refreshments including mulled wine supplied by Malones of Leith.

A huge thank you to all the businesses and individuals who donated so generously to us. Also to those people who came and spent money and also donated money to help us make the Heart more accessible for everyone.

A special thanks to our army of knitters from across the world and especially those who were there at the weekend helping to make the event a such a success.

The fishwife is called JEANNIE a name chosen by 5 people and we held a draw to find the winner and she promptly donated her prize to our fund.

The Tree contained 6257 leaves and is 17’7”  (or 536cm) tall.

The Tree and Jeannie can be seen until December 22nd when the Heart is open and if you come on a Wednesday or Saturday morning the kettle will be on!

In January we shall have news of next year’s projects where everyone who wants to can come and join in. 

The Heart bringing people together.

Merry Christmas from the Heart
