BOW Garden & Aquatic Centre will be holding a fantastic Christmas event over the weekend of November 21 and 22, starting at 10.30am on both days.

Building on the success of last year’s big event, Santa Claus will be arriving on site on both days and will be bringing two friends with him, who children will be absolutely delighted to be able to meet. Kevin the Minion will be here along with one of the Stormtroopers from Star Wars, for fun photo opportunities. There will also be festive fun and games to kick start the Christmas season. Children will be able to visit Santa in his Grotto to give him their Christmas list too!

There will be a winter outdoor barbecue and tasty treats and sweets available from the Country Coffee Shop. So why not take along family and friends for this wonderful Christmas event, which will guarantee smiles all round?

Bow Garden & Aquatic Centre also has everything you need to make your Christmas a stress free event.

A pre-order service has been introduced to cover all the essentials including Christmas trees, organic bronze hand-reared turkeys and geese from Devon farms, hand-made wreaths, table decorations, swags and hampers.

All you need to do is to fill in a form in store with your required delivery dates and your items will be ready and waiting for you in store when you need them.

Take a trip before the event to check Bow’s Garden Centre’s extensive range of new Christmas decorations, indoor LED trees, lighting and gifts for the whole family. The Centre’s aquatic department has some fantastic tanks which make ideal Christmas presents! An aquarium as a gift is a great hobby – fish keeping is relaxing, teaches responsibility and you don’t need to walk the fish!

The Country Coffee Shop will be serving home-made treats and lunches, including roast turkey on Sundays and offering a Christmas Menu throughout November and December for parties pre-booking up to 25 people.

Bow Garden & Aquatic Centre is open daily, and stocks a comprehensive range of aquatic and gardening items, plus a full range of giftware and pet foods.
