Welcome to the winter wonderland that is SOLAS Eco Garden Centre, where the holiday spirit is in full swing!
As we embrace the festive season with open arms, business owner John Carey praised the hard work of the dedicated elves, Lucy, Thia, Kayla, and Tadgh, who have been spreading holiday cheer in their very own grotto.
“Our elves are putting on a great show this year, adding to the excitement as families make their way toward Santa’s grotto before meeting the main man himself.”
But that’s not all the festive news we have for you! Following the resounding success of their first sales event last Thursday, SOLAS Eco Garden Centre has decided to spread even more holiday joy by hosting another spectacular sale this Thursday.
Shoppers can expect incredible discounts of up to 40% off on a wide range of Christmas stock.
And for those seeking the perfect gifts to place under the tree, don’t forget that SOLAS offers a delightful selection of unique presents.
Back by popular demand, SOLAS gift vouchers are once again available to order in-store, redeemable anywhere within the garden centre, from the outdoor cafe and food court to the plant area and garden centre shop. ‘Tis the season of giving, and SOLAS is here to make your holidays truly special.
