Step Inside Trowell's New 2026 Lemax Christmas Village Display

Written by Cara Wheeldon, Trowell Garden Centre

The Christmas display featuring our Lemax village here in store at Trowell Garden Centre stops people mid-step every single year, and this year is no different. This beautiful festive setup is bigger, taller and more detailed than ever. The real question is, are you coming to see it? 

Our new Lemax village has just gone up on the shop floor for the Christmas display and is lit, layered and built to scale. So, join us at Trowell this season and see our Christmas display for yourself up close and personal, pick up a few Lemax village products to take home with you, and make a whole day of the Xmas celebrations.
You may be wondering what’s in store for you? This year's Lemax Xmas villages stretch across market squares, mountain scenes, fairground attractions and much more. Featuring a wide display of 2026 new products waiting on shelves to catch your eye as you pass by.  

We're not going to spell out every detail of the village display for you, so rather than using this as an excuse to only scroll our Lemax collection online, consider it instead your invitation to join us in person this Christmas. 
What we will tell you before your visit, however, is that our Lemax Christmas village display is the most ambitious we've staged yet, and our products are selling out fast. Here's what to expect, what's new this year, and how to plan your visit properly.

What to Expect When You Visit

When you walk into this year's Lemax Christmas display, the scale of the village is the first thing that hits you. Buildings glow from within, the market stalls are layered along miniature streets within a created mountain, and tiny figures go about their business exactly as they would in a real town. This Lemax Christmas village display spans several distinct villages side by side, and even includes viewing areas for children, with a glass bubble that lets them pop up inside the scenery and see the miniature village from within.

You'll easily move from a traditional Christmas market straight into a snow-covered ski resort in just a few short steps. Near the entrance, you’ll even notice a small Spooky Town corner showcasing our Halloween display. Remember to bring a little time with you, because a display like this deserves a slower walk rather than a quick glance. Every Lemax display here at Trowell is built with that easy pace in mind as each Christmas village shows figurines and structures so deeply detailed you could spend the day and still not find everything.

New Lemax Pieces for 2026

Between the main Christmas village displays, the shelves on either side of this year's Lemax showcase are stacked with plenty of stock, so there's just as much to discover on the shelves as there is in the bigger scenes themselves. 

Some of the new Lemax village releases we showcase in our display include Christmas on Victoria Street, which brings a welcoming, lit facade to Caddington Village. This facade captures the look of a bustling high street deep in the festive season.

If you are looking for something smaller, Toboganning is a non-electrical figurine which showcases two small figures flying downhill on a sledge. These pieces are ideal as they’re easy to tuck into any gap in your layout and are an easy, affordable way to start a Lemax Christmas village of your own to display. 

For something bigger, we have the Christmas 'Time' Countdown! This is a genuine showpiece for your display as it’s an animated, sound-filled centrepiece from Caddington Village that tracks the days until Christmas. 
From Vail Village, the Snowshoe Cabin is a middle-ground product that adds a quieter alpine retreat to your layout. 

Whilst this is just a small selection of new Christmas products we have stocked in store from the Lemax village display, together, these new pieces give a genuine sense of the range and detail behind this year's Xmas villages.

How to Plan Your Visit

Planning your trip to Trowell to see this year's Lemax Xmas villages couldn't be easier. The display runs daily throughout our normal opening hours, from the 2nd of October right through to the 31st of December, as part of the wider Christmas displays here at Trowell Garden Centre. 

You, your family or friends do not have to purchase any kind of ticket before entering and are free to wander this Lemax Christmas village display at your own pace (personally, we could spend all day in the display). If you'd prefer a quieter visit, weekday mornings tend to be considerably calmer than weekends, particularly once the school holidays begin. So, bear that in mind when you're planning your own display visit.

Why This Year's Display Is Worth the Trip

Every single year, our Lemax Christmas village display grows a little more ambitious, and 2026 is no exception. New facades, new figures, new custom-built mountains and new attractions sit alongside your old favourites. So, even if you've visited one of our Lemax xmas villages before, you are guaranteed to get an original experience this year. 

Whether you're an established collector looking to add new 2026 products to your village, or simply after a little sprinkle of Christmas spirit, this is the display to visit. We'd love to personally invite and welcome you to this year's Lemax Christmas village display here at Trowell Garden Centre.

Start Your Own Lemax Xmas Village

Many of our visitors have left this year's Lemax Christmas village display having started something themselves, even if it’s just a small windowsill figurine. A single facade or figurine set is all it takes to begin. From there, a collection tends to grow one piece at a time, much like the Lemax xmas villages you'll see built up around our own shop floor. It doesn’t need to be costly or stressful, simply build at your own pace. 

If you're new to collecting or wanting to get into designing a Lemax Christmas village display, our team on hand are always happy to point you toward a good starting piece, such as the Winter Wipeout figurine. On the other hand, if you’re a seasoned collector whose display is looking a little bland, this year's new releases are an easy way to refresh it. Coming down to Trowell Garden Centre for the 2026 Lemax Christmas village display is a fantastic way to get the family out! View new products and spark a variety of designing ideas that browsing online could never achieve.
