2. Capital Gardens, Sherfield-on-Loddon
Capital Gardens, the small group best known for its London centres, runs this garden centre up a country lane off the A33 just north of Basingstoke and turns it into a Christmas shop for the season. The group says its centres sell freshly cut trees, naming Nordmann fir, Fraser fir and Norway spruce, and pot-grown trees that can go into the garden afterwards.
It does not sell trees online and has not published prices or a date for the trees arriving. The centre says it welcomes dogs everywhere, including the Greenhouse Cafe, which was the Basingstoke Gazette’s Cafe of the Year 2025.
The late-night dates and grotto price are from the centre’s Christmas shop page and Santa page, both updated at the end of October. Breakfast with Santa is £25 a child and £16.50 an adult.

Hillier says its centres sell UK-grown cut and pot-grown trees, and its latest real tree page, still written for the 2025 season, lists Nordmann fir from 4ft to 10ft, a slim Nordmann for smaller rooms and Fraser fir, with £10 off cut trees over 6ft for members of its free Gardening Club.

4. The Christmas Barn, Hartley Wintney
A family-run seasonal barn on West Green Road, about nine miles north east of Basingstoke, that sells what it calls “Hampshire grown premium quality Nordmann Fir” and Norway spruce from an indoor display it describes as a forest. It says the trees are not cut until the second half of November, with the spruce harvested last, and stocks them from about 3ft to 12ft, with taller trees on request and a few small pot-grown trees if you ask.
You take a ticket from your tree to the till and collect it re-netted in the car park. It also sells wreaths, decorated to order or plain, stands, decorations and jams from West Green Fruits.
The barn delivers free in its nearest zone and quotes for further afield; its trees page has the map, so ask about Basingstoke when you book. It says card payments are preferred.

5. Newbury Christmas Tree Farm, Bagnor
The nearest choose-and-cut farm we found, about 18 miles north west of Basingstoke just off the A34. You walk its 25 acre plantation, pick a tree from the thousands it grows, mainly Nordmann fir, and a member of staff cuts it down.
It calls itself “Christmas wreath fanatics” and sells its own wreaths. There is no need to book.
It does not sell trees with roots, there is no food or drink for sale, and there is a portaloo but no disabled toilet or baby changing.
A local courier delivers trees up to 300cm to every RG postcode: £15 to RG20 and RG26, which take in Kingsclere and Tadley, and from £20 to Basingstoke itself. Dogs are not allowed in the parts of the plantation being harvested, but staff will point you to the areas where dogs on leads are welcome.
The prices and delivery charges are from the farm’s questions page.

Not in the guide this year
Basingstoke Mencap’s Greenfingers project sold locally grown Nordmann firs from the Elizabeth Road allotments last Christmas, at £35 to £50, with the money going to the charity. On 5 November it had not announced a 2026 sale, so we have left it out until it does; its news page is the place to watch. Burcot Farm at East Stratton, south of the town, appears in tree farm directories, but we found no website or published 2026 dates to check it against. We left out national firms that only deliver trees by courier.
Getting rid of the tree in January
Garden waste subscribers could put real trees out on their normal collection day last winter; this year collections stop after 24 December and restart on 8 January. Without a subscription, the Wade Road recycling centre takes trees in its green waste container, by booking. The details are on our Christmas bin collections page.
How we chose
We looked for every business and charity selling real Christmas trees within a short drive of Basingstoke, Tadley and the villages, then kept the ones whose own websites confirm they sell trees, with this year’s dates where they have published them. Prices, dates and opening hours come from those websites, checked on 5 November 2026; where a seller has not published something, the entry says so. We left out supermarkets and DIY stores. Run a place that should be here, or spot something that has changed? Email newsdesk@basingstokeonline.co.uk. Taken a good photograph of any of these places? Email it to newsdesk@basingstokeonline.co.uk and we will add it with your name as the credit.
