Christmas is Coming to Beetham Nurseries Garden Centre

Christmas is now just weeks away and the elves at Beetham Nurseries; a family-owned garden centre and growing nursery near Milnthorpe in Cumbria, are very much in the Christmas spirit. Over several weeks, the garden centre has had a transformation inside and out in preparation for the festive season.

This year, as well as being able to shop for new Christmas decorations and choose the perfect tree for your home, Beetham Nurseries have invited ten local businesses to exhibit their products on their opening weekend. There will be a range of items on sale, from homemade arts and crafts to locally produced food and drink.

From the 1st of December – the 4th of December 2022, they will be hosting their first Christmas Market Weekend and there is plenty to look forward to and kick off the countdown to Christmas in style.

This free, four-day spectacular will see festive chalets housing fabulous local businesses, delicious food and drink, plenty of Christmas family fun and live music across the weekend bringing the sights, sounds and smells of the festive season alive!

Ten local businesses will be selling their premium products for all four days of the Christmas Market Weekend, so there’s something for everyone to get into the Christmas spirit.

Jess Firth, marketing manager said, “It is a privilege to be welcoming such fantastic local businesses, selling their premium products for all four days of the Christmas Market Weekend.”

She continued, “We wanted to invite businesses who are based on our doorstep and have something unique to offer to our customers, friends and visitors.”

In addition to the Christmas Chalet Village, you’ll be able to browse the centre whilst listening to live music throughout the weekend, including children from Beetham Primary School, who will be opening on Thursday, 1st December with festive songs to really get you in the mood. 

The Garden Cafe, accredited with TripAdvisor’s ‘Best of the Best Travellers’ Choice Award, will be remaining open until 7pm on Thursday 1st December, to coincide with their first of two late-night shopping evenings. 

Jess went on to say, “We have tried to pack as much into the weekend as possible and feel we have something for everyone. Our gift shop is packed with festive decorations and great gift ideas and we have free festive crafting for the kids in our marquee on the Saturday and Sunday.”

“We hope that everyone who comes along enjoys the festive atmosphere, does some shopping and gets into the Christmas spirit!” she added.

Beetham Nurseries is located just 10 minutes from the M6 motorway and offers free parking and free entry.

So if you’re looking for an alternative Christmas shopping experience this year, why not come along and support some local businesses whilst picking up some unique gifts for yourself or loved ones?

The Christmas Market Weekend at Beetham Nurseries is open from Thursday 1st December – Sunday 4th December 2022. Opening times vary.
