Hampshire Christmas Tree Farms 2024

Whether you want to cut your own tree, pick a live tree and have it cut for you, buy a tree already cut or buy a living tree you can plant, this page provides detailed listings of Hampshire's choose-and-cut Christmas tree farms, places to buy pre-cut (also called pre-harvested and fresh-cut) trees, stands, sleigh rides, Santa's Grotto, hay rides and related winter events and fun. Some listings are for tree farms, others are tree lots, and some only offer hay rides, sleigh rides or other winter events. READ EACH LISTING to know what each facility offers. The farms are listed further down this page, so scroll down the page! Since this service is free and open to ALL Christmas tree farms, not just those who belong to an association or pay for an ad, like almost all other websites do, this is the most complete and current listing available! I'm always looking for more to add, and to correct any inaccuracies or errors, so if you encounter any, please email me!

Tips:

• ALWAYS call the farm or see their website or Facebook page BEFORE YOU GO to confirm their supply, their hours prices and whether they have trees, are allowing choose-and-cut or just precut trees; and which attractions or winter activities are available.  All three can change during the short Christmas season, due to weather, demand and the farmer's business conditions! Farms get sold, shut down or run out of trees, and they don't all update me every day, let alone every year. For more tips to make your trip fun and successful, click here!
  DON'T GO THERE IF YOU CAN'T REACH THEM BY PHONE OR EMAIL OR SEE VERY CURRENT INFORMATION ON THEIR WEBSITE OR FACEBOOK PAGE!
• Many more farms are requiring pre-booking appointments and reservations this year - check on their website.
• If the name of the farm is blue with an underline; that's a link to their website. Click on it for the most current hours and information.
• And please tell the farmer you visit in Hampshire that you found their farm here! I need the farmers to realize that you found them here so that they will keep their information up to date!

And if you know of one I missed and want to add it or correct the information, please let me know! There are affiliate links on this page. Read our disclosure policy to learn more.

Updates for November 2024

November: Most Christmas tree farms open on the last Saturday in November; Some open a month earlier to allow you to mark the tree you want while the weather is nicer! Demand for trees will likely be very high this year, and global supply chain issues may reduce supplies of imported trees .Do expect prices to be up about 20%. You can find Christmas tree facts stats and price trends here.

After Christmas, see this page for where, when and how to recycle or dispose of your Christmas tree, lights, decorations, etc. Many areas have kerbside collection!

Three species are available, all sustainably grown, and sourced from within the UK by the Forestry Commission. First, the traditional Norway or European spruce, a little prickly and with a great smell but which does not enjoy hot centrally heated houses. This species is widely grown for its timber and in the 1960s large block was planted in QE Forest close to the Holt Pond. Second, the Lodgepole pine which originates from North America and is so named because of its use in the construction of Native American tipi. This species is very resistant to needle drop and is great with lights, standing outdoors. And finally, the most popular of the three the Nordman fir. This species best suits modern living, being needle fast and with a classic Christmas tree shape. The trees are all cut with no rooted or pot grown plants available. Once the tree has safely arrived home it should be kept outside in water. Just before it is to be taken in doors 1 inch should be cut off the base and the tree should be located away from any heat sources or sunny windows and again kept in water which must be regularly topped up. Once Christmas is over the tree can be returned to QECP (minus all the decorations) to be recycled. For more information about tree species and availability contact the shop on 02392 595040.

The Norway Spruce (Picea abies) is the often overlooked cousin of the traditional Christmas tree as we know it here in the UK, but in fact is the original, the one planted in the public squares of Edinburgh, New York, Oslo, and Washington, the one presented to the great and the good, and in our opinion, the best...it holds its leaves for the season, and quite simply, the most beautiful, the most fragrant...the smell and spirit of a real Christmas...our favourite! We plant over 4,000 trees a year, nurture them to perfection, and specialise in the Norway Spruce (Picea abies), Nordmann Fir (Abies nordmanniana), and Blue spruce (Picea pungens).the best suited for our climate, and therefore, the best for you.
