What’s on this Christmas at Poplar
Fill yourself with festive cheer in the lead up to the big day with a visit to our beautiful Christmas Showroom at Poplar Nurseries in Colchester, Essex.
Bookings for Breakfast with Santa 2026 at Poplar Nurseries will open at 10:00am on Wednesday 7th October. Our Breakfast with Santa event regularly sells out quickly (especially the dates closer to the big day), so if you're hoping to secure a specific date, we'd recommend being ready when bookings go live.
