A County Durham garden centre is set to launch its Christmas department with a festive weekend of family fun.
East Durham Garden Centre, near South Hetton, will host its Christmas opening on Saturday, October 17 and Sunday, October 18, marking the start of its festive 'Where Magic Begins' campaign.
Its festive range will feature lights, decorations, and home accessories.
The garden centre will also offer a wide range of gift options, including toys, games, puzzles, homeware, and pet gifts, as well as winter plants and living gifts for garden enthusiasts.
To celebrate the launch weekend, British Garden Centres Family Card members will receive a 15 per cent discount across the entire Christmas range, including artificial trees, lights, wrapping paper, and cards.
Festive dining and Santa experiences are also available to book throughout the season.
Andrea Smith, centre manager at East Durham Garden Centre, said: "Christmas at British Garden Centres is about so much more than decorations; it’s about bringing people together and making the season the best experience for everyone.
"Alongside our expanded Fern Christmas range and a fantastic selection of gifts for all ages, we’re proud to host festive events that families can enjoy year after year.
"Whether you’re shopping for the perfect present, finding inspiration for your home, or making memories, there’s something special for everyone."
