  • I can recommend the Norway Spruce tree at The Range - 6' is only £15. We went for the 5' version which is £17.99 as it needs to stand on a table and 6' would be too tall. The quality and shape are great.

    I can also recommend these lights which at £20 are half price (no I don't work at The Range!):-

    5ft Christmas tree £25 with free Santas grotto and hot drink and kids trees.

    Kingswood Near Maidstone Kent

    We love it here - its part of our Christmas tradition now. These are British grown trees and these are the best quality - never drops needles.

    The kids really enjoy choosing their own trees and get a choice of a tree in a pot (which they have to pot themselves) or a cut tree some as big as 4ft.

    The kids all get to see Santa and have a gift from him, for free. He spends time with each family in his grotto, he and his elves are brilliant.

    To think what we might spend on a trip to Father Christmas, this is well worth it.

    We got this one - http://www.wilko.com/christmas-trees/wilko-traditional-christmas-tree-green-6ft180cm/invt/0322338 - out of stock online, but plenty in our local store!


    It's up and decorated now. Not the bushiest of trees, but more than adequate for the price - and enough to impress my 3yr old daughter :D

    Thanks for this, we've not long moved into the area and wondered where to get our tree from, £29.99 for a 6' is a bargain as I think we paid nearer £50 last year. Will definitely be getting ours from here.

    If you want to see Santa in his grotto you have to go at the weekend.

    I am sure you will love it.

    they also had the £10 tree reduced to £5 in branch (assume its the 4ft one - but only saw it in the window from the bus) looked like the one i got in the sale at 75% off for £2.50 for our church childrens group.

    Can anyone confirm that you can order the ikea trees in advance in store today?? noticed someone said that yesterday but can't see that on their website...... don't want to pop in and have a wasted trip today x

    For anyone wanting a real tree.

    Ikea are doing the offer again this year i.e. buy a tree for £25 and get a £20 voucher to spend in store.

    They are the non-drop ones. We got one last year, it was lovely and lasted for ages.

    Do you know when they are due to stock them as we went Sat and they didnt have any!

    Xmas Saver!
    Sorry to be really sarcastic, but if you put "ikea" into google, it gives you a link to their webpage.

    There, you can either find the phone number for your local shop Or you can click on the Xmas tree picture that comes up on the front of the website that will take you to the page which tells you all about the christmas tree deal, including this :

    If you purchase a Christmas tree at IKEA between **th December and the **nd December 2013, we’ll give you a £20 coupon that you can spend instore from 20th January until 9th February 2014.

    So please stop being lazy and look up the info yourself instead of relying on other people to spoon feed you the info.
