The Whitehall Christmas displays are well known for miles around and are generally known to the best (perhaps I'm biased due to living in Wiltshire). My mum, who lives in North Lincolnshire always enjoys seeing the displays at Whilehall too and says that none compare. The Garden Centre Association seem to agree and have awarded Whitehall with their best Christmas display in the south west and Wales award multiple times.

The displays are child centred, often princesses, cute arctic and antarctic animals, and children's books. This year the display focusses on children's films. Here are a few photos from this year's display:

| Harry Potter and the Hogwarts Express |
 |
| Frozen |
 |
| Minion Tree! |
Along with the more recent creations are some of the classics, such as Mary Poppins (for which a sequel is currently being made), Beauty and the Beast, and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - all retaining their original film look.

The rest of the shop is beautifully lit and makes me want to buy everything available - which I suppose is the purpose, but is done tastefully.
I hope that this tradition of wonderful displays carries on for many years to come.
Still to come are the Christmas ice rink and Santa's Grotto in November. All in all a worthwhile place to visit on the lead up to Christmas.
