Is it that time already? Apparently so as Squire’s Garden Centres are getting set to hold a couple of ‘Prepare for Christmas’ late night shopping evenings.

From 5pm to 8pm on two evenings in October, their centres in Long Ditton, Twickenham and Shepperton will be offering visitors the first opportunity to see their Christmas shop and enjoy an exclusive 20 per cent of all decorations and Christmas trees on the night.

Festive shopper will be greeted with a free glass of vino or soft drink on arrival, and can take in the live music by local artists as they peruse the aisles.

If you ever wanted to know how to make your decorations, there will be festive craft demonstrations on offer.

There is no need to book, just turn up on the night.

The Long Ditton and Twickenham centres will host their evening on Thursday, October 5, while the Shepperton event will take place on Friday, October 20.
