CHRISTMAS is a time for treating those we love with good food, drink and beautiful gifts.

Hatton Shopping Village, near Warwick, has all you need to make this festive season go with a swing, from sumptuous food to original and handmade gifts from 20 independent retailers selling clothes, candles, jewellery, home accessories, antiques and toys.

There is also the Alexon outlet and Ransons Garden Centre making Hatton the one-stop destination for gifts, many you won’t find on the high street, all housed in beautiful Victorian farm buildings.

There is ample free parking and visitors can shop at a leisurely pace within spacious avenues set in breathtaking countryside before having a bite to eat in the new Spinning Jenny Restaurant.

And Christmas is a special time at Hatton, as shoppers are treated to free mulled punch and mince pies and festive entertainment on traditional shopping weekends on November 27 and 28, December 4 and 5, 11 and 12 and 18 and 19.

Visitors can also join in carol singing and watch a captivating nativity show which takes place at 12.30 pm and 3.30pm on these weekends, as well as at 7pm on special late night shopping evenings on December 3 and 10, with all shops open until 8pm.

With food at the heart of a good Christmas, Ransons Farm Shop – which sources much of its produce locally – has sumptuous jams, relishes, breads, cheeses, flavoured coffees, ales, chutneys and cakes, perfect for the season.

The Ransons Farm Shop also supplies a range of meat pies, dips, local fruit wines, flavoured oils and specialist Christmas favourites such as fruits in brandy and spiced biscuits.

And, in the spirit of giving, we have teamed up with Hatton Shopping Village to offer readers the chance to win a fabulous food hamper packed full of these delicious festive treats. The hamper presents a host of culinary delights and traditional favourites, including Christmas pudding, fruit cake, festive wines, party nibbles, flavoured coffee and delicious sweet treats.

And for those with a sweet tooth, a quick trip to the Hatton Toffee Shop should satisfy any craving with more than 250 jars of traditional sweets to choose from, perfect for stocking fillers. You’ll also find homemade fudge and Belgian chocolates beautifully wrapped. Hatton Shopping Village, at Hatton Country World, is open between 10am and 5pm and is located just off the A4177 between Warwick and Solihull.
