CHRISTMAS at Bents has been kept strictly under wraps but on Wednesday, October 12 at 10 am, the wait will be over and this year’s beautifully themed displays will be unveiled.
Once again, the team from Bents has worked their magic to create a festive wonderland, ready to be discovered. For the first time since the pandemic, the opening event returns to the real look tree forest where a giant Christmas present will form the centrepiece of the occasion, ready to be unwrapped and mark the start of this year’s celebrations.
The Christmas opening is just one of this year’s celebrations as the family owned and run Centre is also marking its 85th anniversary; 85 years since Alfred and Margaret Bent started growing roses from the front garden of their terraced house located just metres away from the current location.
Matthew Bent, Managing Director, said: “Christmas has been a part of our family business for as long as I can remember and this year it is even more special for us as we are celebrating our 85th anniversary. We’ve come a long way since my grandparents started to grow and sell their roses, creating a destination that is full of inspiration and never more so than at Christmas time.
“Once again the team has worked tirelessly to put together what we believe is another fantastic display so a big thank you to everyone involved. We hope Destination Bents will be one to remember this Christmas!”
There are lots more planned at Bents in the run-up to the festive period, including Father Christmas’s official arrival on Thursday 10th November at 4 pm, the Little Face of Christmas photo competition and Bents’ popular Winter Food Market.
