We checked 6 places selling real Christmas trees near Maidstone, from Kingswood's farm to home delivery, for prices and opening dates. Updated November 2026.
There are six good places to get a real Christmas tree in and around Maidstone in 2026, and this guide puts them in one place with prices, opening dates and what each one sells. Most people land on Kingswood Christmas Trees, the family farm off Gravelly Bottom Road that has grown trees for 60 years, opens on 14 November and publishes its full price list; Notcutts at Newnham Court, the nearest to town; and Hole Park at Rolvenden, a grower further south that sells straight from its own wood yard. If you would rather not tie a tree to the roof, two firms deliver across the ME14 to ME17 postcodes. Every entry was checked against the seller’s own website on 8 November 2026.
Stock and hours change as the season goes on, so check the website or ring before a special trip. Distances are rough, from Maidstone town centre.

Farms and garden centres: choose your tree
1. Kingswood Christmas Trees
The family farm on Gravelly Bottom Road at Kingswood, about five miles south-east of the town centre past Langley, has supplied Christmas trees “to Kent and beyond for the last 60 years”. It plants more than 20,000 trees a year across its plantations and says you can be taken into one of them to pick your own.
It sells Norway spruce from 2ft to 12ft and Nordmann fir from 2ft all the way to 20ft, plus rooted and pot-grown trees, holly and Nordmann wreaths, swags and mistletoe. There is a Santa’s grotto to book, a Christmas shop for decorations and stands, and a food and drink cabin with a log fire.
Every tree bought comes with one free small tree from the kids’ pen; extra ones are £2.99. It is a member of the British Christmas Tree Growers Association, and Great British Life’s Kent magazine includes it in its round-up of where to buy a tree in the county.
Dogs are not allowed on the farm, except guide dogs. The full size list is on its 2026 price list page.

2. Notcutts Maidstone, Newnham Court
The nearest place to the town centre to buy a real tree, about two miles out on the Bearsted Road at the Newnham Court Shopping Village, by junction 7 of the M20. Notcutts says its centres have a “fragrant forest” of cut trees to walk through, mainly Nordmann fir, and that staff will net the tree, bag it if you want, carry it to your car or deliver it locally for a charge.
Its pot-grown trees, which can be planted out in the garden after Christmas, are listed as coming soon. Real tree prices are not published online, so ring the centre for sizes.
The centre has no restaurant of its own, but the shopping village has cafes and a pub, and the centre says it is open as usual during the roadworks nearby.

3. Hans Christmas Andersen, Hartlip
The Kent yard of a family Christmas tree business with two sites in Surrey, which grows its trees on its own plantations in the Surrey Hills and calls itself award winning. It has moved “just up the road” to a bigger site at Little Place Farm on Meresborough Lane, Hartlip, about seven miles north-east of Maidstone towards Rainham, with plenty of parking.
It sells Norway spruce, Nordmann fir and several pot-grown varieties. You cannot cut your own: the trees are already cut and stood on spikes so you can walk round each one, and the farm says it keeps cutting until Christmas Eve so it will not run out.
Stands, wreaths and tree lights are on sale too; there is no grotto at this site.
To find it, the farm says to go to the top of Spade Lane, turn left onto Meresborough Lane, and it is on the right.
Open every day 28 November to 20 December, 9.30am to 4pm

4. Hole Park, Rolvenden
The furthest drive here, about 15 miles south of Maidstone near Tenterden, and the only one that grows and sells every tree on the same estate. The Barham family has grown Christmas trees at Hole Park for more than 60 years in the High Weald National Landscape, and says the trees “travel a few hundred metres to our yard, not across the country”.
It sells Nordmann fir, Norway spruce, Douglas fir, Serbian spruce and Fraser fir from 4ft to 8ft, with bigger trees if you arrange it in advance. Its Norway spruce were runners-up in their category at the British Christmas Tree Growers Association awards, and it is the only Christmas tree grower registered with Produced in Kent.
Wreaths, foliage, wood carvings and its own firewood are sold at the yard, and staff help load the car.
