CHILDREN from Somerset are being invited to design their own Christmas card and help raise funds for charity at the same time.

Youngsters aged 11-years-old and under can enter the competition organised by Langford Lakes Christmas Tree Farm and the winning entries will be made and sold in aid of Children’s Hospice South West (CHSW).

Reg Hendy from Langford Lakes Christmas Tree Farm, which is based at Middle Hill Farm in Langford Budville, said: “The competition was such a success last year that we decided to do it again this year. “Youngsters can be so creative, and we just love to see their festive creations.

“We’re asking children to come up with an eye-catching festive design and incorporate everything we love about Christmas. We will then choose one winner and three runners up who will all have their cards made and sold to raise money for CHSW. The winner will also receive one of our home-grown Christmas trees.”

Entries can be hand-drawn or computer generated and can be in colour or black and white, but has to follow a festive theme.

People should send their entries to info@langfordlakes.co.uk, or post them, by 5pm on Friday, November 2, 2018.

All entries must be accompanied with the child’s details.
