The Parish Council Christmas Tree is situated at the front of The Horn's Inn and can be seen by those using the A586 from the A6 or entering the Village. The switch-on celebrations take place on Advent Sunday when Churchtown Festival Queen presses the red button to illuminate the seasonal decorations.
St. Helen's Church also displays a Christmas Tree and the crib in Church Square, which are illuminated following the tree at the Horn's Inn and refreshments are available. Both the trees are donated to the parish from a local resident and decorated with festive lights provided by Kirkland Parish Council.
