Event puts nation’s Christmas memories on display at SEC
As Christmas approaches, highly anticipated Christmas fair, Deck the Halls, is inviting Edinburgh residents to share their most cherished festive memories to be showcased on special ‘memories trees’ at the SEC this November.
The memories trees will be a unique nostalgic feature at the event, showcasing cherished Christmas memories from across Scotland. Visitors can explore the displays and reflect on past festive traditions while making new memories at the show.
Memories already submitted for the trees paint a vivid picture of Scottish festivities, including the magic of ice skating at George Square, the thrill of an annual Christmas pantomime, or finding the perfect gift at one of Scotland’s famous Christmas markets.
Deck the Halls is on a mission to collect as many of these heartfelt anecdotes as possible to create a truly immersive and heartwarming display for attendees to enjoy.
Attending the event from Edinburgh are local businesses: Ana Herranz Jewellery; Birlinn; Edinburgh Illustrations; Helen Chatterton Textiles; Made Scotland; Silver Sparrow Jewellery; The Spirit of the Hebrides Upholstery; Victoria Rose Ball; and Woolkind.
In-line with the event’s focus on celebrating Scottish traditions, the memories trees themselves have been supplied by Duff Christmas Tree Farm, one of Scotland’s leading growers.
A family-run business in Stirlingshire with more than 35 years of expertise, Duff Trees provides over 40,000 premium Nordman Fir, Fraser Fir and Norway Spruce trees each year. Their locally grown evergreens will take pride of place at Deck the Halls, forming the centrepiece of the memories trees display and bringing a touch of local craft and festive warmth to the show.
A premium Christmas shopping experience
Running from 28-30 November 2025, Deck the Halls promises to be an upmarket, curated Christmas shopping experience unlike any other. The event will feature over 100 handpicked exhibitors, offering everything from artisan food and drink and unique handcrafted gifts to interactive festive workshops. It’s the perfect destination for visitors seeking to find luxurious, distinctive gifts and embrace the festive spirit in style.
The event marks the exciting launch of the first consumer fair from Springboard Events, a company with 17 years of experience running successful trade shows in Scotland. Deck the Halls is poised to become an unmissable highlight of Glasgow’s 2025 festive calendar.
Speaking about the event and the community focus of the Memories Tree, Springboard Events’ Managing Director, Mark Saunders said: “Deck the Halls promises to be a stunning new addition to Glasgow’s festive calendar, offering a truly upmarket shopping experience alongside unique features.
