Our 2008 Press release

This year families will be able to buy a Christmas tree and other Christmas goodies from Bluewater. The shopping centre has a huge winter wonderland which opened on 5 November and runs until 5 January. Visitors can enjoy the festive market and the more adventurous can go ice-skating, or ride the carousel. Josh and Sam Lyle, who started their Christmas tree company pinesandneedles.com (http://www.pinesandneedles.com/) over 12 years ago, are really excited to be part of the Christmas Market, "this market is very well organised and has a wonderful vibe" remarked Sam.

Pines and Needles.com are hoping to expand their family business by selling their Scottish home grown trees in Battersea Park, Maida Vale, Bluewater Shopping Centre and Ealing Broadway. For those of us who are too busy to face the Christmas madness on the streets, Pines and Needles.com offer a convenient online service and can deliver, decorate and even remove and recycle our trees after Christmas.

Trees are available to order now, sites across London will open on November 22^nd.

If you want, they’ll set up the lights too, and (London only) decorate the tree. Smell that pine."
