It's Back! Our Christmas Market Square is bigger and better in 2025

Last year saw a radical upgrade to our Christmas Market. New cabins, a new layout, a more festive feel, live carols and dedicated Christmas artisan traders.

So in 2025 we've gone bigger again, more space, more stalls and more fun!

Featuring ODonnells Moonshine, Lincolnshire Drizzle, Glorious Chocolate, Vinteage Sweet Stuff, Whitmore Blossoms, B&M Collectables, ThisThatandTother, kingzkraftz, and many more. And there's more stores at weekends too!

The "Market Square" is ideally located at the heart of the garden centre and next to the exit of the famous Winter Wonderland and Grotto.
The whole square is decorated with lots of lights. At he weekends you'll find fabulous festive food (including german sausages, obvs) carols in the backgorund, and a stage in the corner of the square where we will have vocalists and musicians performing live at regular intervals (click here if you want to apply to perform).
This year the childrens fairground rides are inside the Market Square.

And everything is undercover so no ones getting wet or blown by the wind! And we don't cancel because of the weather.

We're open 10-4 Sunday to Friday and 9-5 on Saturdays.

Please note some traders may be abscent on some days to replenish their stocks, all stalls will be open at weekends.
