Festive garden centre and food market people from Liverpool love visiting at Christmas

A garden centre a short drive from Liverpool is wowing visitors with its winter wonderland displays once again this year.

Bents in Warrington is known for its dazzling festive displays - and, to make things better, it even has an indoor winter food market, festive snow globes you can sit in and more.

The garden centre is a 50 minute drive from Liverpool city centre, just off the East Lancs Road near Leigh, and is loved by shoppers including celebrities.

Its Winter Food Market features charming wood chalets serving warm mulled wine, traditional bratwurst sausages sizzling on the skillet and a selection of sweet treats. Visitors can even enjoy a festive tipple or a hot chocolate. The market is open from midday with live music from Thursday to Saturday.

Bents is also home to a selection of intimate globes, which are situated in the outdoor area and are available for private hire and ideal for a winter outing with family and friends. They fit up to a maximum of six people. Each Winter Food Market globe has heating and lighting, themed decorations and a basket with blankets for you to use.

Pre-booking is essential for the globes, so there’s no need to queue on the day.

At this time of year visitors can take a wander through the magical Christmas displays, with every theme imaginable on show.

Interior Stylist Ellie Fenlon, who shared the displays to her Instagram page @fenloninteriors, showcased the different ranges on offer this year, which vary from tradition red and green to warm pinks and sugar plum fairy-inspired decorations.

Bents is open 8.30am - 9pm Monday to Friday, 8.30am - 8pm on Saturdays and 10.30am - 4.30pm on Sundays.
