The Christmas Barn
at Pontybat Farm
Come and Celebrate Christmas With Us
The Christmas Barn returns to Copper & Holly this November and December, here on our smallholding just outside Brecon in beautiful Mid Wales.
Come and choose your perfect Christmas tree from our selection, wander through our Christmas Shop, stop for something warm and delicious in the café, including our signature hot chocolate, and soak up a little bit of old-fashioned nostalgic Christmas.
No tinsel. No tacky. No overwhelming lights.
Just fresh reasonable trees and wreaths, good food, beautiful Christmas displays and all the glorious abundance of the season.
Opening Friday 20 November 2026
Open daily, 10am–5pm
Until Sunday 20 December
FREE ENTRY • FREE PARKING • NO BOOKING REQUIRED
Choose Your Trees
Thin ones. Bushy ones. Tall ones. Short ones. And plenty of different sizes available to decorate inside or outside of your home too.
Our trees will already have been cut ready for your visit, so this isn't a traditional Cut Your Own field where you cut the trees from the field.
Instead, we'll be filling the courtyard with fresh trees and fresh handmade wreaths galore where you can wander through and choose your favourites.
Whilst we do have a small Christmas tree plantation here at Pontybat, the trees are too small this year to harvest. So we have partnered with our trusted growers in Herefordshire and Powys to make sure there's plenty of choice.
There's no entry or parking charge, and you'll find all of our staff have the best advice for keeping your freshly cut Christmas tree looking perfect to beyond New Year.
Trees and wreaths are available while stocks last.
More Than Just Trees
We wanted The Christmas Barn to celebrate what a traditional country Christmas should feel like.
Our fresh wreaths are handmade and decorated here at Pontybat Farm, using natural, wildlife-friendly decorations. They're lovely for doors and windows, or as a thoughtful way to remember someone no longer with us.
Our wreaths come in two decorated sizes, plus a smaller undecorated version. We also make table centrepieces to order closer to Christmas.
It's a relaxed winter's day out near Brecon for children, parents, grandparents - and dogs too.
Step Into Christmas
Christmas doesn't stop with the Christmas and wreaths.
Inside the shop we've created a series of displays inspired by the traditions of the season. Beautifully decorated trees, candlelight, gorgeous gift ideas, and all the little details that make you want to hurry home and make everything feel cosy.
You'll find our own handmade home fragrance, seasonal pieces for the table and home, flowers and stems, little Christmas treats and ideas for recreating some of our displays at home.
Take your time and have a wander. Steal an idea or two. We really don't mind.
Stop For Something Delicious
Our pop-up seasonal café will be open throughout The Christmas Barn.
We'll be serving a small menu of things that feel right for a frosty December day, including a changing selection of cakes and mince pies, proper coffee and tea, our signature hot chocolate and a seasonally spiced option.
Because frankly, if there's ever a time for hot chocolate, cake and sitting beside a flickering fire, December in Mid Wales is probably it.
Visiting The Christmas Barn
Can I pre-order trees and wreaths?
We are very happy to put trees and wreaths aside for you to make sure your perfect one is in stock when you need it. We can either choose it, or you come and choose whilst we put away to one side. All of our pre-ordered trees are kept outside so that the trees and wreaths don't dry out.
Do you deliver trees?
We can deliver locally with prior arrangement. We travel roughly within a 10 mile radius from our smallholding.
When are you open?
We open on Friday 20 November 2026 and will then be open daily from 10am until 5pm, until Sunday 20 December.
We'll keep our website and social media updated in the event of incelement weather and storms.
Do I need to book?
No.
There are no timed sessions and no tickets to buy. Just turn up during our opening hours.
How much does it cost to visit?
Nothing.
Entry to The Christmas Barn is free, and so is parking. You simply pay for any trees, wreaths, food, drinks or shopping you'd like to take home.
How much are the trees?
Trees are individually priced according to their size/type, with prices clearly displayed before you choose.
There won't be any nasty surprises when you reach the till.
What facilities do you have?
We have free hardcore parking and a compost toilet.
Please be aware that our shop does not currently have level wheelchair access. There are steps at the entrance. We will always do our best to help visitors where we safely can, but wheelchair users may require assistance getting into the shop.
If you have particular access requirements and would like to check something before travelling, please contact us before your visit.
Are dogs welcome?
Yes. Well-behaved dogs are very welcome, but they must be kept under control so that we can protect our own animals, wildlife and other visitors.
Please clean up after them too. Nobody wants that amongst the Christmas trees.
What happens if it rains?
This is Mid Wales in winter. There is a reasonable chance it might!
Our car park is hardcore rather than grass, so getting your car stuck in a muddy field shouldn't be part of the experience.
All of the trees and wreaths are outside, so come dressed for the weather. Our Christmas Shop and café offer somewhere undercover when the Welsh weather inevitably decides to join in.
Can I pay by card?
Yes. We accept contactless and Chip & PIN payments, as well as good old-fashioned cash.

And When Christmas is Over...
Copper & Holly is a seasonal business.
Once Christmas is over, we'll be getting ready for our family experiences, beginning in February half term.
But we're not thinking about that just yet.
For now, it's all about Christmas.
Follow us on Facebook and Instagram for updates, tree and wreath availability and little glimpses behind the scenes as we get everything ready.
We can't wait to welcome you back to Pontybat.
