Christmas Tree Delivery Brighton
We deliver real Christmas trees across Brighton and Hove, free, on the date you choose. Nordmann Fir, Norway Spruce and pot grown trees, British grown and cut to order.

Christmas tree delivery across Brighton and Hove
We deliver across Brighton, Hove and the surrounding Sussex towns, free.
That covers the city centre, the Lanes, North Laine, Kemptown, Hanover and Preston Park. Hove, Portslade and Aldrington to the west. Withdean, Patcham, Hollingbury and Moulsecoomb to the north. Rottingdean, Ovingdean and Saltdean to the east.
We also deliver out to Lewes, Shoreham, Worthing, Burgess Hill, Haywards Heath and across the BN postcodes.
If your street is not listed, we still deliver. It is still free.
How delivery works
You choose your delivery date at checkout. We cut and pack your tree the working day before it travels, so it arrives fresh.
Deliveries run between 8am and 6pm and you do not need to wait in. If you are out, the courier leaves the tree somewhere safe.
Each tree is netted, then loaded into a heavy-duty tree carrier with a cane inside to protect its shape. Netted, it will get up the stairs of a Victorian conversion. Cut the netting in the room where the tree will stand, not on the landing.
We use DX, a national carrier for large goods. They are good, but not perfect, so we will not promise a date can never slip. If it does, tell us and we will put it right.
Delivery is free. No minimum order, no surcharge.
Which Christmas tree should you choose?
Nordmann Fir
The non-drop tree. Thick, waxy needles that hold moisture and stay on the branch. Watered, it holds four to five weeks.
Soft, blunt needles and strong branches for heavy baubles. Very little mess, which matters in a small flat with no hallway to lose needles in.
Norway Spruce
The traditional tree, and the one that smells of Christmas. Sharp pine scent, classic shape, cheaper because it grows faster. It drops sooner, so put it up mid December and water it daily.
Pot grown trees
Alive, roots and all, at 2ft to 3ft. Made for a Brighton flat with no floor space. It goes out on the balcony afterwards and can come back next year.
What size tree do you need?
Measure the ceiling and take off a foot for the stand and the star.
A Regency or Victorian conversion with high ceilings will take a 7ft tree. A flat above a shop in the Lanes wants a 5ft. Measure, do not guess, because Brighton rooms are rarely what they look like.
Width is the catch. A tree is about two thirds as wide as it is tall.
Our Christmas tree size guide has the detail.
Recycling your Christmas tree in Brighton
Brighton and Hove City Council collects real Christmas trees in January and chips them for mulch. Check the council website for your collection date or your nearest drop-off point.
It is usually free, so use it before you pay anyone.
Sussex hospice charities also collect trees in January for a donation. Your tree gets recycled and a hospice gets funded, and you do not have to carry a dead conifer down two flights of stairs. Book in December.
Otherwise, add our collection service at checkout. Check the free options first. We would rather tell you that than sell you something you can get for nothing.
More in our Christmas tree recycling guide.
Keeping your tree alive
Saw an inch off the bottom of the trunk before it goes in the stand. Sap seals the cut end within hours of harvest, and without a fresh cut the tree cannot drink at all.
Get it into water straight away and check the water every single day. If it runs dry once, the trunk seals over for good.
Keep it away from radiators. Heat is what kills Christmas trees.
A stand with a deep reservoir makes it easy. More in our guides to keeping your tree fresh and stopping needle drop.
