Christmas Shopping Evenings at Wentworth Woodhouse Garden Centre

 

Wentworth is renowned for its stunning display of fibre optic Christmas trees, plants, flowers and figures which form a major and eye catching feature in our Christmas room. We stock a comprehensive range of indoor and outdoor lights to suit everyones pocket and display aspirations.

Beautifully displayed themed ceramics, decorations, glassware, artificial trees and much, much more complete the overall 'Aladdin's Cave' dedicated to the celebration of the spectacle and occasion of the festive season.

Perhaps the single most important aspect of Christmas that sets Wentworth apart from many other shops and centres is our floristry division. We are able to fashion holly wreaths, swags, welcome rings and arrangements in a range of seasonal materials, both fresh and artificial. Over 1000 natural wreaths are created every Christmas from foliage cut in our own gardens here at Wentworth, providing a unique experience for the Christmas enthusiast.

Finally, for those to whom Christmas means a real Christmas tree, we stock over 2500 'Premium Grade' trees to select from. 'No needle drop' Nordman firs and Lodgepole pines are available alongside traditional Norway spruce and Serbian spruce in both cut and rooted / potted form.
