With easy access (and free parking when you arrive) we are just a few minutes away from Daventry, the centre of Northampton and Towcester and within the hour of all these places.

As we start to turn our garden centre into a winter wonderland, perhaps it’s time to come and see us. We’d love to show you around.

The Grinch hated Christmas! The whole Christmas season!
Now, please don’t ask why. No one quite knows the reason.

It could be, perhaps, that he didn’t like glee,
It could be he hadn’t heard of our Afternoon Tea.

It could be, perhaps, if we try and think,
That no-one had told him of our booking link.

It could be quite simple and via our site,
If you book right now then maybe you’ll might,

Have a great time with tea and a great time with cake,
And festive celebrations, what a treat it will make.

So don’t hang around as the tickets are few,
So here is the place for any Grinch’s (and you).

This year, for Christmas, despite his protest,
He’s green (and quite mean): perhaps you have guessed?

So for 2025, The Grinch WILL be here!
He’ll bring the cake but, he says, you bring the cheer!

Our real ice rink can be enjoyed by people of all ages and abilities. We have a team of trained ice stewards who ensure that our rink is safe and well maintained at all times. Free skate hire is included in the ticket price.

All events have lower capacities and early booking is more essential than ever to avoid disappointment. You can book online – or as we are the best Garden Centre for Smiles – we are human too so, you can phone us or even call in to book event places. Peak and Off Peak prices are available for ice skating sessions. Online booking is always advised, with some popular days, completely sold out last year.

To ensure peace of mind when booking any event, we offer our Event Confidence Guarantee. This includes:
