Yes, it's back! St John's is relaunching the much-loved Crib Festival, and this year's theme is "Joy to the World".
It's an annual community celebration and family event that Sodbury Vale Benefice has been putting on since 2011. It celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ through the medium of nativity crib scenes from around the world. Around 150-200 cribs are on display for viewing during the first week of Advent.
There are also activities for children as well as a Crib Cafe serving refreshments.
