Snow snow snow!

After the heavy snow last week it was a huge team effort to get the Longshaw Estate open for one of it's annual Christmas events this weekend. It was all hands on deck to clear the car park, paths and to shake snow from the hundreds of Christmas trees for sale! The team worked tirelessly to get everything ready through the freezing temperatures.

The estate had a successful weekend selling trees and entertaining families with Christmas decoration and card making.

Join us next weekend (11/12th) for our next Christmas weekend.

Christmas trees at Longshaw
A wide range of Christmas trees will be on sale at Longshaw near Sheffield from 27th November – 22nd December, 10am – 4pm. All the proceeds go back into the vital conservation work undertaken on the estate. The trees are on sale in the Christmas tree nursery next to the Woodcroft car park on the north of the estate (near Fox House). Some of the trees have been grown at the Longshaw Estate and are looked after by a team of volunteers.
