This is the Trafalgar Square Christmas Tree before & after its settling & its "hair transplant" (they hammer extra branches into the gaps to even it out - an impressively symmetrical job).
The lighting ceremony is this Thursday at 5.30pm.
Don’t miss the lighting of the famous Trafalgar Square Christmas tree, which takes place in Trafalgar Square from 17:30 on Thursday 7th of December 2023.
Happy Christmas from all at The Poetry Society!
