SANTA'S elves have been busy in Bicester as more than 80 trees now decorate St Edburg's Church.

The annual Christmas Tree Festival is back today with the halls of the church, in Church Street, lined with dozens of trees in all their glory.

Local community groups and organisations have sponsored individual trees and decorated them in a range of ways.

There will also be a 'tree hunt' and live music.

The festival will run for three days from 10am to 7pm, or from 12.30pm Sunday.
