The range of interpretations of this year's Follow the Star theme was most imaginative and prompted many of our hundreds of visitors to cast a vote for their 'Favourite Tree'. The results are as follows:
1st: Carlton Grange (364 votes); 2nd: Helmsley Bell Ringers (221 votes); 3rd: North Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service (165 votes); 4th: 1st Helmsley Scout Group (141 votes); 5th: Helmsley W.I. (140 votes).
Thank you to all those who supported this Festival, the proceeds of which will be divided between All Saints' Church (Helmsley); Helmsley Together; and St Catherine's Hospice.
