Where can I buy a real Christmas tree in Sheffield? Best places near me for Xmas tree collection and delivery

Although some people prefer to buy an artificial tree and not have to deal with the stress of cleaning up pine needles and remembering to keep it well-watered, others just can’t resist indulging in the real deal.

For many families in Sheffield, going to pick out an authentic Alpine tree and bringing it home (or getting it delivered) is one of the most fun and festive activities of the season.

The selection of trees may be slightly more limited as we creep closer towards the end of December, but there are still plenty of options for anyone who may have left things a little more last minute – or who prefers to be more traditional and adhere to the ‘12 days of Christmas’ rule.

Here are some of the best places where you can still pick up a real Christmas tree in Sheffield – for collection and delivery.

Trees are available for collection or delivery and you can enjoy a children’s treasure hunt on your visit, as well as hot drinks and cakes on site. The farm is dog friendly (providing they are on a lead) and has a large car park.
