Christmas Tour for the North offers GCA members festive retail inspiration

 

North-based members of the Garden Centre Association are invited to join its Christmas Tour for the region on Tuesday, November 3 to explore some of the UK’s leading retail destinations.

 

Attendees will meet at Klondyke High Legh Garden Centre and visit The Hollies Farm Shop, Bents Home & Garden, GCA Destination Garden Centre of the Year, and Newbank Garden Centre.

 

Peter Burks, GCA CEO, says: “Our Christmas tour in the north by bus promises to be extremely popular because it will give members the opportunity to see the very best festive retailing in action.

 

“As well as gathering ideas and inspiration ahead of the busy Christmas trading period, members can network with industry colleagues, share experiences and learn from some of the most successful retail destinations in the country. We’d encourage attendees to book their places soon to avoid disappointment.”

 

The day will begin with a look at Klondyke High Legh Garden Centre, Knutsford, Cheshire, before members get on the coach for the rest of the tour.

 

Tickets cost £25 per person and places can be booked by emailing laura@gca.org.uk.
