ENCHANTED PICNIC IN THE TREES🌲✨
After proving SO popular last year we are delighting to be running our Enchanted Picnic in the Trees again! The top question we have been getting asked since January is "are we doing the picnics again?" Yes we are!
A really magical experience. Follow the tree lined trail and head out amongst the growing christmas trees. You will need to find the candy cane taper high over a tree to locate a table and when you do you will be immersed amongst the trees.
We provide the picnic boxes, you can bring a blanket to get cosy at your table in the trees.
Then take all the time you want to walk through the trees. If you spot 'the one' you can tag it! It will be yours to either take home that day, we'll freshly cut it for you. Or you can choose a date in the future to collect your tree.
Thursday 28th November - 2pm - 4.30pm / Thursday 28th November - 6pm - 8.30pm
Friday 29th November - 6pm - 8.30pm
