A North Devon National Trust property has unveiled a giant knitted Christmas tree made by more than 1,000 volunteers from across the globe. Arlington Court is a great day out for people on North Devon family holidays and this Christmas it’s even better, thanks to the work of volunteers from all over the world. The tree is decorated with knitted baubles and presents in 2005 and has been displayed in several locations over the subsequent years. Now it’s Arlington Court’s turn, with 2014 marking the first time the tree has been on display at a historic house. Alison Murray is responsible for putting together the tree and says she’s delighted to be offered the chance to show the tree off at Arlington. “I’m very excited about it,” she said, “and I’ve even had my local knitting group create a special garland the banisters at Arlington.” Arlington’s Natalie Savage said: “We always like to make a big deal of Christmas and this fantastic knitted tree looks incredible in the hall of the house. “Now it’s a countdown to the visit of Father Christmas!” Arlington Court is now fully decorated for Christmas and open every weekend this month from 11am to 4pm. 2.12.14
