Nice and treesy does it
A big day out!
RICHARD THOMAS heads to Gower Fresh Christmas Trees
in Swansea.
WHY? At Gower Fresh Christmas Trees at Three Crosses you can shop for the perfect fresh cut tree this Christmas while the children visit Santa at Winter Wonderland and see Wales’ largest reindeer herd as well as guinea pigs and other animals.
WHAT’S THE BUZZ? There are a huge selection of trees to choose from at Poundffald Farm this Christmas. This year is their biggest crop yet, including every type of tree from Norway Spruce to the Noble Fir. What really sets the farm apart from other Christmas tree retailers, though, is their outstanding Winter Wonderland exhibits where you can come and meet Santa and his friendly, mostly, reindeer as they prepare for Christmas this year.
LOOK OUT FOR? In Winter Wonderland their Arctic display includes penguins, polar bears and seals. There are also singing Santa's and you can even have your photo taken in Santa's sleigh or visit Father Christmas himself in his grotto. New this year is a life size 12 piece nativity display with baby Jesus, Mary, the three wise men, and shepherds. They also have a shop full of all types of Christmas items to purchase.
ANY HISTORY? Gower Fresh Christmas Trees was set up eight years ago by Poundffald Farm owner and fifth generation farmer Robert Morgan. What began as a concrete slab and a small number of Christmas trees soon became the largest grower in South Wales with over 250,000 trees for sale. Robert added the Christmas grotto five years ago to add some more Christmas cheer to the farm and to give children something to enjoy while adults are busy scouting for this year’s Christmas tree.
WHAT TO TAKE? Christmas trees cost between £4 and £6.50 for non drops and £2 and £4 for spruce. Trees that are eight foot plus are more expensive. Decorations, gifts and tree stands are all for sale in the Christmas Shop. To visit Winter Wonderland and see Santa in his grotto costs £5.50 per child but is just £2.50 each for adults.
WHEN TO GO? Gower Fresh Christmas Trees is open 9.30am to 7pm on weekdays and 9.30am to 5pm on Saturday and Sunday. Their Christmas attraction Winter Wonderland is open at the same times as the tree site. Children can visit Father Christmas in his grotto all day until 3pm on Christmas Eve.
TELL ME MORE: The tree site and Christmas grotto is located at Poundffald Farm in Three Crosses, Swansea, just five minutes from Junction 47. For sat nav users their postcode is SA4 3PB. Christmas trees can also be bought from their other retail sites at Penllergaer Woods Forestry Commission, Gnool Country Park in Neath and Afan Argoed Park in Port Talbot.
