We can’t promise a white Christmas but we can help you make it green.
Escape from the shops, gather up your friends and family, wrap up warm and feel the crisp fresh air in your local forest this winter.
Nothing beats the experience and smell of a Real tree. Take the family and choose one at our sales centres across the country or have one delivered free from our web shop.
Experience one of our magical events or buy concert tickets or membership as presents. You can also escape the masses and settle down in one of our cosy cafes and treat yourself to a steaming hot chocolate or a bowl of hearty home-made soup and a well-earned mince pie.
Buy real
All over the country Forestry Commission sales centres offer a range of UK grown Christmas trees for sale. We only sell trees that are grown in the UK in a well managed way. More trees are planted every year than are harvested.
Real trees use about ten times fewer materials and five times less energy than artificial trees - and they smell divine!
You can be sure that our knowledgeable and friendly staff will help you choose the shape, size and colour that suits you best, and wrap it up ready for you to take home.
Festive events
There are lots of exciting Christmas events taking place at Forestry Commission woodlands. From Santa’s grotto to festive fairs and magical illuminated forests, there is something for everyone.
