Important information
Mobility Scooters:
We understand and respect the challenges faced by those with mobility needs and we strive to make our shop as welcoming and accessible as possible. However, due to the nature of the shop being housed in a historic farm building, navigating with mobility scooters can be particularly difficult, especially during the weekends when it can get very busy.
To ensure the safety of all our customers, it might be easier to visit on quieter days during the week where we can better assist you with access, or use an alternative mobility aid, different from a mobility scooter, if possible.

What can I find in the shop?
Advent calendars, angels, baubles, candle rings, candles, crackers, cuddly toys, foliage, garlands, gift tags, gingerbread decorations, lanterns, LED lights, lighting, napkins, ornaments, present sacks, ribbons, snow globes, stockings, sweets, tea-light holders, tree toppers, wrapping paper, wreaths … and much, much more!
Handmade Wreaths
From the end of November, handmade wreaths are available to buy from the shop. These often sell as soon as they are made; they are not something that is kept “in stock”.
If you would like to make your own Christmas wreath, each Christmas we offer wreath workshops – click here to find out more.

Weekends closer to Christmas
The shop can get very busy at the weekends, especially at the end of November and through into December.
We ask for your patience at these times and a queue for entry will be created when the shop reaches its maximum capacity. As soon as there is space, you will be allowed in.
Sometimes there are breakages, which means that there can be shards on the floor, so please carry any dogs with you.

The Maintenance Shed is another hidden gem within our Roots Café, providing a quiet and private space away from the hustle and bustle of the cafe.
It’s ideal for those seeking a more exclusive and intimate setting, whether you`re catching up on work, enjoying a quiet meal, or having a confidential meeting.
What makes the Maintenance Shed even more special is its unique décor. The space is filled with tools, antiques, and artefacts gathered from the Estate over the years, each with its own story to tell. These items offer a glimpse into the rich history and heritage of the Estate, adding character and charm to the space.
Whether you`re looking for a quiet retreat or a cosy spot with a touch of nostalgia, the Maintenance Shed is the perfect place to escape, relax, and soak in the history.

We are only 8 days away from Christmas!
Many of us now have our trees up and will keep them up until the New Year. So how do you keep them fresh for as long as possible?
Here are some top tips 🎄
Half of your tree is made up of water so you need to keep it hydrated. So keep your tree watered and check it regularly.
Before you put your tree up, cut an inch off the bottom for optimum water absorption.
Make sure the stand can be filled with plenty of water and that your tree fits comfortably without having to whittle down any of the sides of the trunk. These parts of the tree are the most efficient absorbing water.
Keep your tree away from heat and direct sunlight. Lowering your room temperature by a degree or two will help.
In the meantime, enjoy that fresh Christmas scent and if you haven’t got your tree yet, we have them on sale until the 22nd of December.
