Midsummer Place in Milton Keynes announces return of Christmas Tree festival

Midsummer Place in Milton Keynes announced the return of its Christmas Tree Community Festival for 2025.

From 15 November through to 24 December 2025, participating local businesses will have the opportunity to sponsor and decorate one of the 20 available Christmas trees within the mall – giving their business huge exposure during the busiest time of year for retailers. Local businesses are given the prime festive exposure in exchange for supporting local charities.

Previous business sponsors have included Red Bull Racing, Franklins Solicitors LLP, Hays Travel, Redway Runners and many more.

The fee to secure a tree is £300 and all proceeds collected during the campaign will be added to the prize fund and distributed among the three trees receiving the most public votes—50% for first place, 30% for second, and 20% for third.

“Kicking off today, the Christmas Tree Community Festival offers local businesses not just tremendous visibility in our mall over the festive period, but also a meaningful way to give back to our community,” said Kirsty McGiff, Marketing Manager at Midsummer Place.

“We’re excited to welcome creative entries that shine throughout the season and help make the holidays brighter for everyone.”

Shoppers will be able to vote for their favourite trees between 15 November and 24 December 2025.

Businesses and organisations interested in sponsoring a tree are encouraged to complete the application form via the Midsummer Place website.
