We checked 5 places selling Christmas trees in Northumberland, from Meldon Park's cut-your-own field to Cowell's, for prices and dates. Updated November 2026.

There are 5 places selling real Christmas trees in and around Northumberland in 2026 that publish what they sell, and this guide puts them in one place with prices, opening dates and delivery. Most people will land on Meldon Park near Morpeth for a cut-your-own tree, Broomhall at Black Callerton for the biggest choice of pre-cut trees, or Cowell’s at Woolsington for a tree ordered online. Every entry was checked against the seller’s own website on 5 November 2026.

Two of the five, Broomhall and Cowell’s, sit just over the Newcastle boundary, a few minutes from Ponteland; the other three are in the county, at Meldon, Heighley Gate and Mickley.

Cut your own

1. Meldon Park, cut your own (near Morpeth)

The Meldon Estate, west of Morpeth, says it has sold cut-your-own trees for more than 30 years and now grows Norway spruce specifically for it, with more than 10,000 trees in the ground and 2,000 more planted each year. You collect a saw, find a tree, cut it, and staff wrap it for you to pay.

It also sells pre-cut Nordmann firs bought in from a family farm in Northumberland, pot-grown Norway spruce, wreaths and decorations, and runs a Christmas Cabin for hot drinks. The estate advises gloves and all-weather footwear.

A pot-grown tree brought back after Christmas is looked after until the next year, with a £10 voucher towards it.

The 2026 opening date was not on the website on 5 November; last year the field opened Thursday to Sunday, 10am to 3pm, from 20 November. The estate’s sister firm, Northumberland Logs, takes online orders for delivered pre-cut Nordmann firs, with 2026 delivery days of Saturday 28 November and Saturday 5 December.

Not on the list this year

Forestry England’s Christmas tree page did not list a Northumberland forest on 5 November 2026, so do not count on the old tree sales at Kielder Castle or Rothbury until it does. Brocksbushes near Stocksfield last posted about tree sales in 2023. We could not find a seller in north Northumberland, around Alnwick, Wooler or Berwick, with a working website that names its 2026 trees; the national chains’ stores in Alnwick and Berwick may carry them.

How we chose

Every seller here publishes what it sells on its own website, and we read each site on 5 November 2026: the farm and garden centre pages for trees, opening dates, hours, prices and delivery. Where a seller had not yet posted its 2026 dates, we say so and give last year’s. We left out sellers whose websites no longer work or have not mentioned trees since before 2025. Run a place that should be here, or spot something that has changed? Email newsdesk@northumberlandpost.co.uk. Taken a good photograph of any of these places? Email it to newsdesk@northumberlandpost.co.uk and we will add it with your name as the credit.

For more of the season, see our Northumberland Christmas markets, the Christmas lights switch-ons, Christmas shopping in Northumberland, Christmas dinner, ice rinks, what’s on this month and things to do in Northumberland. When it is all over, the Christmas bin collections page covers recycling the tree.
