I hope you have all had a very good Summer - We have had a busy year as a family with Charlie's wedding and Bill buying his first house (I have updated the photos in our team section) We are thrilled to announce that a few old favourites will be here to help again this year, with the added bonus of a new member of the family joining us - We are proud to announce nephew Lewis has excelled at school and got a place in Cardiff Uni - great news for him - even better news for us as we hope to rope him right in!
We have started with the weeding and I'm delighted that the trees planted in March are thriving so that's Christmas 2034 sorted!
In honour of the olympics - Ty Cerrig has adopted a 'GOING FOR GOLD' theme.
So look out for the winning clues on the elf trail. Also new for this year is an extra Olympic quiz for the bigger kids on the wellie walk, including both mental and physical tests to challenge all the family and we haven't forgotten our dashing Dogs - they too are in for an Olympic level of fun at Ty Cerrig with our new Doggie agility course
Which Families will end their visit with a podium place - you have to be in it to win it!?!
Plans are in place for sorting this year's new fun, Fred is busy updating the golf course, building a few surprises, a doggie obstacle area and of course a podium for all your winning Ty Cerrig photos. There is a new updated postal service as well so look out for further details
Romily Primary School managed to make the most money back in our school scheme for 2023 maybe it could be your school's turn this year.
Sian Patterson and Eva Green Won the Snowman Draw from the wellie walk so they will be smiling all the way to the till. (Please if you know them, remind them to contact us for their vouchers)
Can't wait to see you all again this year
Love

We love our Canine visitors, and this year they can expect an Olympic level of fun at Ty Cerrig with our new Doggie agility course - bring your dashing dogs to challenge themselves over the festive obstacles to end on the podium - Share your action shots with us in this year's fantastic photo competition
Santa has struggled a little over the years to decipher the names and addresses on some of the letters - so to help out this year we are asking the Ty Cerrig visitors to choose one of three options
1. continue to use the post box for magic letters and photos - with no reply
2. Please put a stamped addressed envelope with your child's letter in the box and they will receive a Santa circular with news from the north pole by return of post
Or
3. For an extra small charge (payable on booking) your child will be able to personally drop their letter & stamped addressed envelope into santa's intray in his workshop (Santa will obviously be busy working so will not be seen - but as long as we do not disturb him he is okay with Families taking a lovely photo of their little cherubs in his office) Santa will then personally reply to their letters
Instead of spending money on advertising our tree sales, we send flyers to the school to circulate amongst their pupils friends family and neighbours - then when you book your appointment to come and buy your tree, you select the name of the school your are supporting - or if you if you choose to call during the week without an appointment, you give your school name to the person who serves you at the till - then in January the support points are converted back to cash and sent to your school - Christmas 2023 generated £2865 for local schools!(If your school doesnt appear on the list please contact us and we will include you)
You now have the option to have your seasonal stash delivered to your door - so go mad and have a great big tree!! Simply enjoy choosing your tree and other festive goodies- take them to the till and we will arrange the rest (Delivery is charged at £2 per google mile from the farm CF5 6TR).
Online shopping! Yes we Ty Cerrig elves are up with the times and down with the kids - in our state of the art online shopping section you can buy all our Ty Cerrig trees & treats from the comfort of your own Sofa - you stay in your slippers - we pull on our wellies and do it all for you!

The family background is in Christmas trees and Stephen, with help from his wife Helen and Children Charlie Kate Bill and Fred runs a large wholesale Christmas tree business from the family farm in Beguildy, Mid Wales.

Bill, Fred and Kate have stayed true to their welsh roots, Bill delivering the wholesale trees, Fred planting and maintaining the trees and Kate teaching in Barry, all three, with the big elf Helen and all their extended Ty Cerrig family, look forward to welcoming you back to the farm this year to choose from the wide selection of home grown trees plus the freshly supplied selection of trees delivered from the larger Powys Farm this all ensures they have the right tree for everyone.
To get the most out of your Christmas tree this year, follow these guidelines.
It is advisable to let a freshly cut Christmas tree stand for a day or so outside in a bucket of water before taking the tree into the house.
We recommend you treat your Christmas tree like a cut flower, cut 1/2 inch off the trunk (stem) before putting it in water holding stand.
Keep it topped up with water as you will be surprised a just how much it will drink.
Display as far away from a heat source as possible, not next to a radiator or that roaring open fire or wood burner.
Remember, the better watered and cooler you can keep it, the longer it will last.
