The event is organised by Warwick Lions, Rotary Club of Warwick, the Choirs of St Mary’s Collegiate Church, Royal Spa Brass and Warwick Castle.
Over the years, tens of thousands of pounds have been raised for charities and good causes.
Warwick Castle hosted the first concert in the courtyard in 1972 when the Castle was owned by David Greville, Lord Brooke.
The tree, an English Oak, was donated by the team at Warwick Castle and was planted by the Mayor of Warwick, Cllr Parminder Singh Birdi.
