Is it too soon for Christmas celebrations? Some Essex garden centres don't think so, with one launching Christmas events and a new Christmas store as soon as next weekend!

Upminster Garden Centre is excited to announce its new Christmas store opening on October 12 - next Saturday! Upminster Garden Centre will offer a diverse range of gifts, including toys, puzzles, games, homeware, and pet products, making it a one-stop shop for all your present needs.

British Garden Centres said: "After what can be described as a temperamental summer, customers can now immerse themselves in the magic of Christmas by exploring the store, which is overflowing with a dazzling array of decorations to suit every taste. From classic reds, greens, and golds that evoke the true Christmas spirit to modern winter themes of silver and white, nostalgic gingerbread and romantic pastel pinks, there's something for everyone."

The store also specialises in gardening essentials, boasting a fantastic plant and sundries department for those winter gardens. Of course, there will be plenty of Christmas decorations, lights, cards, artificial trees, and wrapping paper. Whether you're looking to create a festive ambience indoors or outdoors, the store's collection has something to suit every style and taste.

Bookings are also now open for the centre's popular Christmas events. From festive feasts to magical encounters with Santa, there's something for everyone to enjoy for the perfect family day out.

At the Santa Paws event, you and your dog will be able to meet Father Christmas individually at breakfast, so you can grab the perfect photo of Santa with his new little helper! There will also be a breakfast with Santa event and an afternoon tea with Santa, spreading holiday cheer while you enjoy some tasty treats.
