REVIEW: Christmas Tree Shopping at Moors Valley: A Festive, Picture-Perfect Experience

If you’re looking for a truly magical way to choose your real Christmas tree this year, Moors Valley offers an experience that feels straight out of a cosy American Christmas movie. Set against the backdrop of towering forest pines and the natural beauty of the New Forest, the Moors Valley Christmas Tree Shop makes picking your tree a festive tradition rather than just another errand.

Easy to Find & Simple to Navigate

Parking is in the main Moors Valley car park, exactly where you’d usually park for a normal day out. From there, the Christmas tree area is immediately visible, located just before the Visitor Centre.

Huge Selection of Trees and Freshly Made Wreaths

Moors Valley offers a brilliant choice of real Christmas trees, including fir and spruce varieties in a wide range of sizes. There are even potted options for those who prefer smaller or environmentally friendly choices.

Clear price lists at the entrance make browsing simple and transparent. Freshly handmade wreaths from Moors Valley are also available and well worth picking up. I couldn’t resist one - they’re beautifully crafted and wonderfully fragrant.

A Relaxed, Enjoyable “Choose Your Own” Experience

Visitors are free to wander through the rows and take their time selecting the perfect tree. There’s no pressure and no rushing, creating a calm and festive shopping atmosphere.

Once you’ve found your perfect tree, you can either carry it to the netting station or ask staff to assist. Their team is friendly, helpful, and happy to collect your tree if needed.

Quick, Efficient Tree Wrapping and Payment

The netting process is fast and well organised. Trees are wrapped within seconds, tagged, and matched with a key that you’ll use at the payment point. Payment is card-only for convenience.

Once purchased, your tree will be waiting for you along the fencing area. Handy mini trailers are available to pull your tree back to the car, making the final step easy and stress-free.

Festive, Outdoorsy and Incredibly Scenic

What truly sets this Christmas tree experience apart is the location. Surrounded by towering woodland, the whole outdoor setup gives it a charming Christmas-tree-farm feel. It’s wholesome, festive, and ideal for families and anyone who enjoys making choosing a tree part of their holiday traditions.

Parking

Parking follows the usual Moors Valley process. Visitors should expect to pay at the machine unless visiting under specific circumstances.
