A magical Christmas tree-buying experience is coming to the North East
A unique Christmas tree-buying experience is coming to two locations in the North East this November.
Step into Xmas will bring an extensive selection of Nordmann Fir trees to the Metro Centre in Gateshead and Manor Walks in Cramlington from Thursday 24 November through to Wednesday 21 December.
The wide selection of trees will range from 4ft to a whopping 8ft and will come in a range of shapes and widths, so you’re bound to find the perfect fit for your home. Each tree is given a fun, Christmas-themed name so you may be taking home a Mariah or Elton this year.
Designed to entertain the entire family, the experience is the perfect way to kick off the festive season. Expect to be greeted with a warm welcome and a complimentary hot chocolate to keep your hands toasty as you browse the beautiful selection of trees. A range of decorations and stands will also be available to buy to put the finishing touches on your evergreen.
In a bid to give something back this Christmas, Step into Xmas is partnering with Metro Radio and Cash For Kids’ Mission Christmas Campaign. For every tree sold, £2.00 will be donated to Cash For Kids which will provide gifts to children across the North East who are at risk of waking up to no presents on Christmas day.
The much-loved Steve and Karen Breakfast Show on Metro Radio will also be supporting the cause by giving away dozens of free trees to its listeners through the festive season.
Metro Radio Breakfast show presenter Steve Furnell commented: “Karen and I love the run in to Christmas on the show. The Christmas songs always get us going, and every morning we get to hear how excited our listeners are for the big day arriving.
To be partnering up with Step Into Xmas this year is the fairy on top of the tree. Just by contacting the show and chatting with us on air you could be winning one of their luxury real trees and have it delivered to your home.
It is also great to see them supporting our charity Cash For Kids, with much needed donations going towards the Mission Christmas campaign."
Each Step into Xmas tree has been grown with care and expertise by leading Christmas tree supplier Galloway Woodlands. The free-draining soils and 1000ft altitudes beside the shores of Lochinvar in Dumfries and Galloway offer the perfect conditions for the popular Christmas tree variety and are cut late in the season to provide maximum freshness so your tree will last the entire festive season.
“All our real Christmas trees are cultivated by hand and grown at an altitude of over 1000 feet,” said a spokesperson from Galloway Woodland. “In this we believe our Christmas trees grow slower and consequently produce excellent trees suitable for the UK.”
The Step into Xmas Christmas tree-buying experience will be open from 24 November to 21 December at Metro Centre, Gateshead, and Manor Walks, Cramlington.
