The UK’s largest family-run garden centre group acquired the former Dobbies site in Gosforth Park in January and has been working hard with the existing and new members of the Gosforth team to restock and refurbish the store and restaurant, turning it into the gardening destination in Newcastle and beyond. 

The official ribbon-cutting ceremony will take place at 10am on Saturday the 22nd.  Be one of the first 100 customers through the doors and you'll receive a special goody bag filled with gardening treats! 

Our friendly team will be on hand throughout the day, signing people up for our exclusive Family Card scheme, which unlocks a world of benefits and special promotions.  Gosforth Garden Centre will be open until 6pm on Saturday, so come along and explore the fantastic range of plants, tools, and gardening essentials.

The celebrations continue on Sunday, February 23rd, with doors open from 10am until 4:30 pm.  There will be another 100 goody bags up for grabs for the first customers!  

If you sign up for the Family Card this opening weekend, you can enjoy a fantastic 10% off everything in the garden centre.  Plus, look out for exclusive opening week offers and Best Buy deals on a wide selection of garden centre products.

Visitors to the new Gosforth Garden Centre will discover a world of exciting changes, including an expanded selection of plants, sundries, and gardenware, including the Fern Living outdoor furniture range, exclusive to British Garden Centres. 

The team has also been working with new and existing concessions to bring you a better shopping experience with everything you could need for your garden all under one roof, with an incredible selection of products for your home and garden as well as expert team members on hand to share their knowledge and advice in all departments. 

The restaurant has also been revitalised so shoppers can indulge in a delicious meal with a more comprehensive and tastier menu and a BRAND NEW carvery now on site.

Malcolm Buckle, Centre Manager at Gosforth Garden Centre said: “We are excited to be opening the new Gosforth Garden Centre and giving new life to the former Dobbies site. As we edge closer to the start of the gardening season, we know this will be a brilliant moment for local residents and we're really looking forward to welcoming the community to this newly revamped thriving store.”
