The festive transformation

A visit to Trevena Cross during the festive season is a firm tradition for many families across west Cornwall.

This December the garden centre has no intention of disappointing eagerly anticipating visitors. With grand plans to harness the Christmas spirit, the team will soon be busy creating wow-factor festive photo opportunities, to capture special moments and lasting memories.

Garden Centre Manager, Nick Hann, comments, “This year we’re excited to share our Christmas displays with everyone who comes through those gates. Whether they’re here to pick up a Christmas tree, grab some lunch, do a spot of shopping or soak up the festive atmosphere, it will be free for all. With no obligation to spend a penny – come and enjoy, take some photos and get into the Christmas spirit with us!”

Complementing the magical festive displays, walk-about characters, music and snow, there will be an undercover 30-food stall and craft market on the first three weekends of December, combining delicious produce and locally made traditional and contemporary gifts and crafts. There may even be a chance to say hello and grab a photo with Father Christmas! (Please note, there won’t be
formal 1:1 grotto visits taking place with Father Christmas).

If you can’t wait until December though, beautiful lights and decorations will inspire your festive senses following the seasonal transformation in the shop at Trevena Cross. Plus, an eclectic range of gifts are ready to kickstart your Christmas shopping. Outside, a huge selection of UK cut and pot-grown Christmas trees will descend on Trevena Cross mid-end November, including the popular value non-drop Nordman Fir (up to 6ft tall!), so every Christmas space and pocket is catered for.

The Palm Tree Bistro will be serving up its delicious winter menu, popular Sunday Roast and lighter bites from the outdoor, undercover Tiki Hut. Using fresh, local produce, (including some grown on-site in the nursery) it may even place some irresistible festive treats into its cake counter of homemade bakes!

With plenty of free parking, good disabled access across the site, and dogs with responsible owners also welcome, it’s an ideal outing for the whole family.
