Gates Garden Centre have won an award for its Christmas display in the Garden Centre Association (GCA) Christmas Competition 2022.

Local garden centre, shopping outlet, farm shop and eatery, Gates Garden Centre, has won the GCA award for Best Destination Garden Centre in the 2022 Christmas Competition.

The gardener's paradise was established in 1948 by Fred and Ivy Gates, originally created within the walls of a large Victorian kitchen garden belonging to Cold Overton Hall. Still on the same site today, the centre has expanded considerably over the years, now housing over 12,000 square metres of leisure and retail facilities.

The GCA award is another feather to add to their cap this winter.

The team at Gates Garden Centre said: "We are delighted to announce that Gates Garden Centre has won Best Destination Garden Centre in the Midlands region

"We have always been proud of our Christmas displays and it's wonderful to be officially recognised by the Garden Centre Association (GCA) as the best destination garden centre in the Midlands region and one of the top three garden centres in the UK.

"Thank you to our team for all their hard work and passion that goes into our Christmas displays."

The team are hosting a range of events on the run up to Christmas, including Breakfast and Dinner with Santa.
