Sleeps until Christmas
We work year-round using sustainable methods. For every tree which is cut down we plant another. We use Shropshire sheep to manage the grass & we encourage wildlife such as ladybirds for natural pest control. After Christmas the trees which are returned to us are put through our woodchipper to make compost.
Sustainability
Getting your tree
When you visit us, you have several options:
-
Reserve a Tree: Ask for a numbered tag at the desk, we’ll make a note of your details then attach your tag to a tree in the field and return later to collect it.
-
Pick and Cut: Choose a tree from the field, and we’ll cut it, net it, and bring it to your car.
-
Freshly Cut Trees: Browse our selection of pre-cut trees.
-
Pot Grown Trees: We also offer a small selection of pot-grown trees.
Tree Stands
We stock “The Quick Stand” which is the easiest and quickest way to display a real tree in the home. The bowl allows you to keep your tree watered. It has an anodised, rust resistant finish and is available in different sizes.
Caring for your tree
We’ll trim half an inch off the trunk when you buy your tree to help it absorb water and stay fresh. Keep the tree outside standing in water until it is required indoors. Once inside, water it daily, as Christmas trees are very thirsty. Use a stand that holds water and refill often. Keep the tree away from heat sources like radiators, and if you have underfloor heating, turn off the nearby zone or place the tree on a mat to avoid overheating.
Christmas Shop
The Christmas Shop is a magical place to visit. Packed full of beautiful baubles, light up décor, garlands, wreaths, advent candles, scented candles & more! We make sure there is something to suit all styles & budgets. The shop is open 7 days a week throughout the festive season. If you need to visit outside the advertised hours, please get in touch & we will be happy to stay open for you.

Floristry
Fresh Christmas wreaths are handmade here on the farm and ready for you to take home. Alternatively, order your own style and size and we will create it for you. Crafted with fresh fir foliage, pinecones, dried oranges, nuts, red berries, cinnamon and topped with a large festive bow. They're perfect for bringing a touch of holiday cheer to your home!
Wreaths
We create our floral arrangements in-house, including our festive table centrepieces. We use fresh fir and holly, adorned with candles, pinecones, orange slices, cinnamon sticks, and red berries. If you have a specific style or colour scheme in mind, let us know, and we’ll create it for you.
Cafe
Crankley Wood Cafe, set in a converted horse trailer, is open on Saturdays and Sundays. We have a state-of-the-art Fracino barista machine to craft our coffee with freshly ground beans from our own blend, ensuring a rich and delicious flavour. Our decadent hot chocolates, expertly prepared are available in a variety of flavours. Alongside our regular milk, we offer non-dairy alternatives.
