A popular York garden centre is to host its first Christmas event since being acquired by new owners earlier this year.

Dean's Garden Centre in Stockton on the Forest will hold its first Christmas Sparkle Day on Thursday October 24 and will reveal its festive decoration themes to inspire customers.

Centre manager, Mike Waugh said: "People travel for miles to experience Christmas at our sister centres at Tong and Tingley, and we want to replicate some of this magic, but with a Dean's stamp.

"Discover the festive decorating looks that are trending this year and enjoy fantastic savings on making Christmas sparkle! Whether it's a set of new baubles for the tree, twinkling lights to festoon your garland, a light-up figure to welcome guests into your home or new pieces to add to your Lemax collection, there's something for everyone.
