Join us for Hilltop's Family Christmas Launch Event on Friday, 25th October from 5-8pm at Hilltop Garden Centre in Weeley, Essex!

Enjoy festive music, twinkling lights, and a warm atmosphere to kick off the holiday season. Kids can visit our Christmas Grotto, sit on Santa's sleigh, and get a photo with our moving reindeer. Plus you can warm up and feast on our festive food and drinks, all served takeaway style!

Decorate Christmas cookies with your little ones and browse our Christmas gift and food shop for a spot of late night shopping to find unique presents. Plus, children can send letters to Santa! The event is free to attend and we'll be serving complimentary nibbles. Everyone is welcome - hope to see you there!
