Garden & Leisure centres have storybook Christmas


Garden & Leisure centres are making a real impression with visitors this Christmas with a storybook theme to their displays...

The garden centre chain was recently bought by the Garden Centre Group but it hasn't stopped stores like Huntingdon (pictured) making a big impact with their festive activities.

The highlight of the displays are giant-sized pages from famous storybooks like Little Red Riding Hood, Dick Whittington, Jack & The Beanstalk, Cinderella, Hansel & Gretel and Sleeping Beauty.

"The storybook displays have been a big hit with customers," said Huntingdon Garden & Leisure duty manager John Kay. "At Garden & Leisure we have always tried to make a big impressive during the important festive period, and that hasn't changed under the new management."
