SHOP. CHRISTMAS IS A SPECIAL TIME AT THE FAMILY-RUN FARM, AND THE HARRIS FAMILY ARE HANDS-ON
IN PASSING DOWN THEIR OWN LOVE OF CHRISTMAS THROUGH THE RANGE OF ACTIVITIES, EVENTS AND
PRODUCTS ON OFFER; WITH FRIENDLY, EXPERT, CUSTOMER SERVICE AT THE HEART OF ALL THEY DO.
Broadditch Christmas Trees & Christmas Shop
‘Farmer Christmas’
Open from 23rd November, the
Christmas Barn is is packed with
an array of stunning decorations
and Christmas lights, and is a
magical Christmas shopping
experience.
The ‘elpful elves’ are on hand to
help you choose your perfect
Christmas tree. And Broadditch
knows all about Christmas trees!
They have been selling high-quality
trees since 1990, selling over 1500
each Christmas season, and have
been supplying the Tower of
London’s tree for over 20 years!
Choose from the popular low needle drop, Nordmann Fir, or the traditional
Norway Spruce; with its unmistakable pine-needle aroma for the perfect scent
of Christmas; with trees available in a range of sizes, from 3ft to up to 20ft!
Buying a tree at Broadditch Farm is yet another way to experience Broadditch’s
top notch customer service; the knowledgeable team will remove the netting and
allow you to view as many trees as you need until you find your perfect Christmas
showstopper. And once chosen, the team will re-net it and help you to your car,
or can offer delivery within a 10-mile radius.
Complete your festive look with a range of homemade wreaths, mistletoe and
inspired decorations.
Broadditch Farm Shop
As well as hosting a huge
Christmas Market every
November; which sees over
40 stalls of locally produced
food, drink and crafts; the
farm shop also takes a
seasonal turn, offering
tempting treats and seasonal
favourites, perfect for helping
you create your traditional
Christmas dinner. Discover
seasonal farm-grown
produce, which goes from
field to shop within a few hours of harvesting, as well as locally sourced vegetables,
chutneys, cheese and more, from a host of regular local producers. Create an
ideal Christmas present with a Broadditch Festive Hamper. Packed with an
array of delicious goodies, the team can also provide gluten free hampers too.
Climb on board the tractor sleigh and journey into the enchanted wood. Be
