PYO Christmas Tree
Create festive memories the whole family will treasure by visiting a Christmas Tree Farm this year.
There’s something special about wandering through a forest of Firs and choosing your favourite to bring home and decorate. Wellie boots are a must-have item and don’t forget to wrap-up warm. Bring the kids – and four-legged family members as many of the sites are dog-friendly – and meander through scented spruces to find the perfect tree for your home.
Here are some Christmas Tree Farms you can visit in Mid Devon:
1. Pixton Christmas Trees (Bampton)
Real Christmas Trees (Nordmann Fir) for sale in a range of sizes from 2 to 11ft and more. Open Monday to Friday, 9am-4pm. Due to size of site, customers are encouraged to contact Pixton before visiting to ensure someone is present when you arrive.
