It may seem hard to believe, but we can now officially say that Christmas is next month.
These days the build up to Christmas usually starts in mid-September, meaning that the November milestone isn’t perhaps as significant as it once was.
If you’re someone who embraces Christmas from early November, there are plenty of ways to get your festive fix.
From Christmas markets to light switch-ons, over the next few weeks preparations for the big day will start to gather pace.
Another surefire way to get in the Christmas spirit is by visiting one of Nottinghamshire’s amazing garden centres.
At this time of year, many of the county’s garden centres have dedicated Christmas departments selling everything from lights and decorations to wreaths and lights.
You could easily spend a whole afternoon at one of these garden centres, particularly on a miserable November day,
We’ve picked out 7 of the best Nottinghamshire garden centres with amazing Christmas departments:
