Christmas at UpCountry! 

Christmas is our favourite time of year at UpCountry and this year we’re here to give you an unforgettable and magical experience from start to finish,

At UpCountry Scaynes Hill, as soon as you walk through the door you are greeted by our 2 beautiful reindeer who are ready to put their best smiles on, so make sure to have your cameras ready to get lots of pics! Once you have spent long enough admiring their stunning coat and shiny hooves take a right and you will enter the world of Kids Christmas, where you will encounter a world of nutcrackers, stockings and toys, candy canes, Big train sets, and endless baubles to choose from! Kids will love this section, but don’t worry we know you adults will love it just as much!

As you continue walking through our magical pathway you will see our next theme is Traditional Christmas, full of red, gold, and green colors, you will find all you need to not only decorate your tree but also to give that traditional Christmas feel to your whole room! If you turn around you will see a whole wall of garlands and wreaths, whether you want pre-decorated ones or ones that you can fully decorate yourself, we have them all.

We then move onto the world of Winter Wonderland where we have stunning colours like pearl iridescent white, purple, pink, and even baby blue, our new addition this year is nutcracker angels! The ‘Scandi’ world is next which encompasses a more natural festive theme.  Here you can expect to see wooden carved decorations, as we have baby mushrooms, toad stalls,  berries, pine cones…

Don’t get your tinsel in a tangle! We have a new addition this year, which is our tinsel room! We quite literally have every color of tinsel you can think of from the classic to the extravagant!

Another new addition this year is our Tree Of Hope! This is a multicolored tree that is charity-themed, and with every bauble bought we will give to our local charity Chailey Heritage.

Of course, we haven’t forgotten to add our very loved Christmas Train! This is definitely a customer favorite whether it’s for the children or the adults! We have a train at both our sites here at Scaynes Hill and Stone Cross! We like to think when you come to our stores you not only come to shop but also to bring your kids and have a memorable experience!

Have you ever wanted to know where Father Christmas reads your Christmas letters? Well at UpCountry this year we have been allowed to borrow it all the way from the North Pole! 

Last but by no means least we have our Bavarian Market! With Christmas Villages, candles, handcrafted wooden men, candleholders and so much more at Stone Cross! 

We can't wait to see you this Christmas, long live the magic!
