Christmas tree delivery across Winchester
We deliver across Winchester and the surrounding Hampshire villages, free.
That covers the city centre, St Cross, Weeke, Fulflood, Stanmore, Badger Farm, Highcliffe and Winnall. Out to Kings Worthy, Littleton, Sparsholt, Twyford, Colden Common, Alresford, Sutton Scotney and the Worthys.
We also cover the wider SO postcodes and out towards Eastleigh, Romsey, Andover and Basingstoke.
If your village is not listed, we still deliver. It is still free.
How delivery works
You pick your delivery date at checkout. We cut and pack your tree the working day before it travels, so it arrives fresh rather than having stood on a lot for a fortnight.
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 hold its shape. Netted, it will get through a narrow cottage door. Cut the netting in the room where the tree will stand, not in the hall.
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 for a house with children or a dog, and strong branches that carry heavy baubles without drooping. Almost no scent, which is the trade for keeping its needles.
Norway Spruce
The traditional tree, and the one that smells of Christmas. Sharp pine scent, classic shape, and cheaper because it grows faster.
It drops sooner, so put it up in mid December and water it daily.
Pot grown trees
Alive, roots and all, at 2ft to 3ft. Good for a cottage or a flat. Back outside after Christmas and it can return next year.
What size tree do you need?
Measure the ceiling and take off a foot for the stand and the star.
Winchester has a lot of old houses with low beams and a lot of Georgian ones with high ceilings. Both are common, so measure rather than guess. Low beams mean a 5ft or 6ft tree. A high Georgian ceiling will carry an 8ft.
Width catches people out. A tree is about two thirds as wide as it is tall.
Our Christmas tree size guide has the detail.
Christmas in Winchester
Winchester runs one of the best Christmas markets in the country, in the Cathedral Close, with an ice rink alongside it. It draws people from across the south, and for good reason.
The Cathedral itself is worth going in for. The High Street carries the lights, and the whole city centre is walkable in an afternoon.
The market gets busy at weekends. Go on a weekday if you can. Dates change each year, so check first.
Recycling your Christmas tree in Winchester
Winchester City Council and Hampshire County Council run tree recycling in January, chipping trees 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.
Hampshire hospice charities also collect trees in January for a donation. Your tree gets recycled and a hospice gets funded. Book in December, because slots go.
Otherwise, add our collection service at checkout. Check the free options first. We would rather say 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.
Get it into water straight away, and check the water every single day. If it runs dry once, the trunk seals over and the tree stops drinking for good.
Keep it away from radiators and wood burners. Heat is what kills a Christmas tree.
A stand with a deep reservoir makes it easy. More in our guides to keeping your tree fresh and stopping needle drop.
