The High Town Community

What did you think of the Christmas trees around Luton, including ours?

Please pop some feedback over using the form in the link below. ⬇️

Ok... it's January and we are still taking about Christmas trees - but this one is important.

We really need your feedback on if you enjoyed seeing them around the town and should we do them again. This was a pilot so we need to know what you think so we can plan if to do them in 2026 again.

The feedback will take around 2 minutes to do. Pretty please 🙏

The tree has succumbed to Storm Bram, but it will be fixed tomorrow! Isaac did manage to get it back in position earlier this afternoon, but the wind is too strong right now.
