You are invited to get creative with your own interpretation of the nativity crib scene, and display it at our Crib Festival this December.

Entries are welcome from Ashtead community groups and local individuals. The crib scenes will be displayed on tabletops in St George's Church. They can be traditional or a modern interpretation of the nativity crib scene and made from any (non-perishable) material e.g. wool, fabric, cardboard, wood, pine cones. Here are a few examples from a crib festival held at St Nicolas Church, Cranleigh in December 2024.

The festival will be open to the public from 10 to 13 December. There will be no entry fee for either participants or visitors. Any donations received at the event will be shared among local charities that the church is supporting over the Christmas period.

To express your interest in taking part, or if you have any questions about the event, please email cribfestival@ashteadparish.org or complete the entry form linked below.
