‘Hidden gem’ West Midlands garden centre has a huge Christmas section and cosy café serving festive afternoon tea
Explore the extensive Christmas section and enjoy a festive afternoon tea in their cosy café, located near Cadbury World and Selly Manor.
Bournville Garden Centre, tucked quietly behind Cadbury World, has opened its doors to a full Christmas transformation that is already drawing in families from across the West Midlands.
The historic centre, once part of the original Cadbury family estate, has unveiled a large seasonal department packed with lights, ornaments, gifts, and festive inspiration.


Recognised by the Daily Mail as one of the Top 25 Garden Centres in the UK, this small but much-loved spot has turned itself into a winter escape filled with glittering displays and shelves of colourful baubles.
The atmosphere is warm, friendly, and built for slow browsing with the kids or a relaxed morning out.


Visitors can expect rows of sparkling decorations, themed displays, Christmas plants, and plenty of ideas for dressing the tree at home.
The centre’s cosy café is also joining in on the celebrations with a festive afternoon tea that runs alongside the main Christmas event.
The afternoon tea includes a mix of sweet and savoury treats, seasonal flavours, and fresh tea or coffee. It is available for anyone looking for a quiet break during their visit or a Christmas catch-up with a friend. Dietary requirements can be accommodated if mentioned when booking.
Bournville Garden Centre can be found on Maple Road, Bournville, just minutes from Selly Manor and Cadbury World, making it easy to turn the trip into a full family day out.
Festive afternoon tea will be served from 27 October to 30 December 2025.
