A TOUGH DECISION

Customer Annoucement

It is with a heavy heart that we announce we will not be hosting a Christmas Grotto this year. This has been a tough decision for us, made only after careful consideration of several logistical challenges. We understand how much this cherished tradition means to so many of our loyal customers and their families.
For us at Alton Garden Centre, the Grotto has always been a magical part of the festive season, bringing joy to both visitors and staff alike.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support. We hope to bring back the magic in the future.
Warmest wishes,
The Alton Garden Centre Team
