Busy Bee Garden Centre

Busy Bee Garden Centre has one of the largest Christmas displays on the South Coast with it's 'Christmas World'.

Unusual and beautiful decorations are sourced from around the world. Tinsel from Finland, candles from Germany, glass from Poland and lights from Sweden.

With over one hundred types of festive lighting you are able to find a suitable light for any aspect indoors or out.

In particular outdoor Icicle lights are featured heavily this year in all sizes and colours. Blue, Green, Clear and Multi-colour starting from £21.50 up to the largest 960 bulb set retailing for £57.50 giving a lighting string of 22 metres.
The sheer volume of sales enables us to offer these low prices.

The "Honey Pot" coffee shop seating for 100 is the brightest & cleanest coffee shop you will find, serving freshly baked food throughout the day and hot lunches between 1200 and 1500.
