Longshaw Christmas Tree Sales
20 November - 23 December or until stocks last
For more than fifty years Longshaw has been selling Christmas trees to generations of families who select their special tree to mark the start of the festivities.
Our trees are carefully selected by our expert rangers and every tree sold supports the vital conservation work we do in the Peak District. The trees are a mixture of species, including varieties which don't drop their needles.
Every winter, the Moorland Discovery Centre turns into a festive grotto with Christmas trees and decorations for sale.
Coming early in the season is advised so you can have more choice of size and type of tree. .
