Christmas Magic begins at Havant Garden Centre
The most magical time of the year is on its way, and Havant Garden Centre is thrilled to announce the launch of its Christmas Department with a spectacular opening weekend on 3rd and 4th October.


As part of the UK’s largest family-run garden centre group, British Garden Centres and the Christmas campaign, “Where Magic Begins”, Havant Garden Centre is pulling out all the stops to make this year’s celebrations bigger and brighter than ever. From enchanting decorations to festive family fun, the launch weekend promises to be the perfect way to start the countdown to the most wonderful time of the year.
Get ready for a magical start to the holiday season as Havant Garden Centre officially opens its Christmas wonderland this weekend! Santa Claus is rolling out the red carpet, cutting the ribbon at 9 am on Saturday to kick off the celebrations. The first 50 groups through the door will get a golden ticket, which will entitle them to a free bauble, and guests can enjoy seasonal treats and live festive music while soaking in the atmosphere.
Visitors will be among the first to experience the newly expanded Fern Christmas and Lighting collection, exclusive to British Garden Centres. This year's lineup is bigger and better than ever, packed with brilliant lights, stunning decorations, and gorgeous home accessories designed to help you create unforgettable holiday memories without breaking the bank.
Havant Garden Centre is also your ultimate destination for gift shopping under the tree. Explore a massive selection of toys, games, puzzles, homeware, and pet gifts, alongside a top-tier gardening department stocked with winter plants and living gifts for the plant lovers on your list.
To mark opening weekend, Family Card members get an exclusive 15% discount across the entire Christmas range, from artificial trees and lights to wrapping paper and cards, and our curated Christmas themes for every home, perfect for pulling off either a classic or contemporary holiday aesthetic.
The cheer continues all season long with bookings now live for festive dining and magical Santa experiences, giving families plenty of ways to make this Christmas extra special.*
