Welcome to Christchurch Round Table

Our Christmas tree recycling scheme has become a well-established part of the post-Christmas period in Christchurch, and this year saw record levels of support from the local community.

This year’s Christchurch Round Table’s Christmas Tree Recycling scheme was our most successful yet. Across our collection days, we collected around 500 real Christmas trees and raised nearly £6,000 to support local charities and good causes across Christchurch and the surrounding area.

We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who booked a collection, shared our posts, recommended us to neighbours, and helped make this year such a success.

The sound of sleigh bells, smiling faces at the end of driveways, and Santa waving from the float — 2025’s Christchurch Round Table Santa Sleigh was one of our best yet.

Across four festive evenings in December, our volunteers were proud to bring Santa to streets in Somerford East, Somerford West, Burton and Fairmile, raising money for local causes and collecting food donations for the local foodbank — all while spreading Christmas cheer across Christchurch.

This year also saw the debut of our brand new Santa Sleigh…

We’re excited to announce that the Christchurch Round Table Santa Sleigh will be visiting Somerford this December! Santa and his merry helpers will be stopping by your streets on:

📅 Somerford East – Tuesday 9th December 2025
📅 Somerford West – Wednesday 10th December 2025

This much-loved festive tradition brings Christmas magic directly to families across Christchurch, and we can’t wait to share it with you again this year.

Looking for an easy, eco-friendly way to dispose of your real Christmas tree in January 2026?
The Christchurch Round Table Christmas-Tree Collection is back — providing a convenient doorstep pickup service while raising money for local community projects and charities.

Our annual collection has become one of the most popular ways for residents across Christchurch, Dorset, Highcliffe, Mudeford, Burton, and surrounding areas to recycle their Christmas trees responsibly.
