We checked 6 places to buy a Christmas tree near Bishop's Stortford, from Alsa Wood Farm to home delivery, for 2026 dates and prices. Updated November 2026.
There are six places to buy a real Christmas tree for a Bishop’s Stortford home in 2026, and this guide puts them in one place with opening dates, prices and delivery. Most people will land on Alsa Wood Farm at Stansted Mountfitchet, the nearest grower, where you choose a tree in the field and have it cut; Christmas Wrapped Up near Dunmow, which is already open; and Jacksons Nurseries, which delivers across Hertfordshire and Uttlesford. Every entry was checked against the seller’s own website on 8 November 2026.
There is no tree farm or pop-up pitch in the town itself with 2026 dates online, so five of the six are farms a short drive away and one delivers.
Prices for a tree of about 6ft
| Seller | Nordmann fir of about 6ft | Smallest tree listed |
|---|---|---|
| Jacksons Nurseries (delivered) | £79.99 (slim, 6 to 7ft) | £14.99 (potted, about 1ft) |
| Dane End Christmas Tree Farm (2025 list, collect) | £68 (6ft) | £26 (4ft Norway spruce) |
| Alsa Wood Farm | not published online | potted trees |
| Christmas Wrapped Up | not published online | 4ft |
| Slamseys | not published online | 1m Norway spruce |
Dane End has not posted 2026 prices yet, so its figures are last year’s and may rise. Jacksons’ prices were shown as reduced on its site on 8 November and may change.

How we chose
We looked for growers with 2026 information within about half an hour’s drive of Bishop’s Stortford, Sawbridgeworth and Stansted, and for firms that deliver to CM23 and CM21, and kept the ones whose own websites carry their dates, trees and contact details. Hatfield Christmas Trees is not here because its site still describes its 2025 season.
