Leyland Garden Centre announces festive events and meals

The centre, part of the British Garden Centres group, is promising a 'magical experience'.

One of the events is Breakfast with Santa, where children can enjoy a cooked breakfast, meet Santa, take pictures, and get a personal gift.

For those looking to celebrate with a traditional meal, the centre is also offering a Christmas Dinner experience featuring slow-roasted beef, traditional roast turkey, haddock béarnaise, or a chestnut and seed roast with cranberry-spiced gravy.

To finish, guests can choose from classic Christmas pudding with brandy and vanilla sauce, chocolate and mandarin trifle, spiced mince pie cheesecake, or a chocolate cherry dessert with raspberry coulis and Chantilly cream.

A Festive Afternoon Tea is also available, offering a seasonal twist on the classic treat.

The centre is part of the British Garden Centres group, the UK’s largest family-owned garden centre chain with 80 locations nationwide.

The group is owned and led by the Stubbs family, who also own and operate Woodthorpe Leisure Park in Lincolnshire.

British Garden Centres began in 1990 with the opening of Woodthorpe Garden Centre by Charles and Robert Stubbs.

Wesley Emery, centre manager at Leyland Garden Centre, said: "We can't wait to share the magic of the festive season with you at Leyland Garden Centre.

"Join us for an enchanting lineup of Christmas events filled with warmth, community, and holiday cheer.

"From dazzling lights and immersive experiences to unforgettable moments with Santa, our team is dedicated to bringing the wonder of Christmas to life.

"Bring your loved ones and create cherished memories that will last a lifetime."

The group employs more than 3,500 people across its garden centres, restaurants, growing nurseries, distribution centres, Woodthorpe Leisure Park, and Woody’s Restaurant & Bar.
