Will āthe oneā š be hiding in our plantation⦠or waiting for you in the yard this year..........?
Quite a few of you have already asked when booking opens for our October VIP Weekend, so itās time to let you in on our plans for Christmas 2026.
This year, weāre doing our early tree choosing a little differently.
There wonāt be one VIP appointment weekend. Instead, weāre opening the plantation for **two Early Bird Weekends** in Novemberāand everybody is welcome. No appointments, no booking list. Just turn up, grab a measuring pole and go tree hunting! š
š Our Christmas Gift Cabin opens on **Saturday 31st October**.
š Our **Early Bird Plantation Weekends** will be:
**Saturday 7th and Sunday 8th November**
10am-3pm
and
**Saturday 14th and Sunday 15th November**
10am-3pm
Our classic āchoose and tag your tree with your nameā experience isnāt changing. Pull on your wellies, head out into the fresh air and wander through the plantation with your measuring pole until you find the tree that was quite clearly growing there just for you.
⨠**But there is something brand new for 2026ā¦** āØ
For the first time ever, weāll also have a lovely selection of **freshly cut Christmas trees waiting in the yard**.
So, if going into the plantation isnāt for you, you can choose your favourite from the yard, weāll net it and you can take it home. Two different ways to find your treeāthe choice is yours.
The freshly cut trees and Gift Cabin will be open during the weekdays between our two Early Bird Weekends, even though the plantation itself will be closed.
Our main Christmas-tree season then runs from **Saturday 21st November until Friday 18th December 10am-3pm**
The plantation will be open throughout that period apart from Thursdays, when it will belong to our Tails in the Trees dogs. The freshly cut trees in the yard and our Gift Cabin will still be open on Thursdays.
āļø **Florists, wreath makers and crafty peopleāwe havenāt forgotten you!**
Our wonderfully wonky trees will be available again. We absolutely love seeing what you manage to create from the trees that nobody else quite knows what to do with! š
Weāll also be offering a limited local delivery service, with final deliveries taking place on **Thursday 10th December**.
Our delivery area will be smaller than it was last year, so please check the attached information and keep an eye on our page for the full delivery arrangements nearer the time.
Our trees are incredibly fresh. Keep yours well watered and away from direct heat, and it should still be looking lovely well into the New Year. š
And donāt worryāHead Elf and a few of his friends are back to help us out. Youāll still find him and plenty of the usual festive nonsense around here! š
So, which sounds most like you?
