The Air Hostess have been busy thinking of Christmas for many years to come.
A concrete base was dug by hand by Mark Law and George Walker in November 2023, for Tollerton’s Christmas tree.

Mark said: Day 1 – Weather was warm when we started, soaking wet by the end of the day, highs of 13c
Day 2 – bitter cold wind, highs of 6c with overcast all day.
A flower covering base was built to cover the tree base and hole for 11months of the year. The base was built big enough to support a 20ft Christmas tree if required.

They were supplied with warm coffee from the Air Hostess team and a lovely cold pint from the wonderful Kevin Pyke (Tollerton’s lengths man 2023).
