Visiting Christmas shows: search for Township in real life(IRL)

[Rocky_Ruud]

Looked through the album, the houses/shops are fantastic, Ruud, and what ideas... wow.
I'd almost say TS Devs must have been there, lol!


I re-read the whole thread, and just to be sure (I haven't seen something similar here, just Christmas markets with shops and light and a few pine trees as deco) that I understand it correctly: who makes and brings these houses, the ppl who have a shop there (as deco), or are they their own purpose in their own area (the one you marked)?

There are several factories that deliver such houses and other stuff. International marks are Lemax(the mark represented in this spot and in many other places in this show), Luville and My Village but several garden centres released whole series as a private label too.

Wow, those are fantastic. Thank you for sharing them with us Ruud.
My only worry would be..I would want them all and have nowhere to put them in my town.
Still maybe Playrix can give us a suitable amount of expansions to fit.
Won't hold my breath on that one though lol

Thanks Cuddz,
Sometimes I am thinking of how it could be living in a garden centre in this period,
a little crowded during the day but very enjoyable when the peace has returned.

It's a wonderful idea and fir me I would use my space reserved for Christmas decos, of which I have a lot
so yes..I would love to see them available.

Thank you for this post at Christmas at Intratuin in Duiven. I have seen the photos on Google and it is all really beautiful. I live half an hour drive by car away, so I am definitely going to see that beautiful spectacle. Thank you for the tip Rocky Ruud

Hi Macha
You're welcome and if you are planning your visit next tip is to try to avoid weekend days because of the traffic jam in and around that garden centre.
And if you like, share you experiences with us!

fascinating. Definitely haven't seen such here at all. Probably good so.... lol, they're probably not cheap.

No, they aren't. Sometimes we buy on webshops with 20% discounts. The garden centres give discounts after Christmas days so that is another interesting option.

yep, have seen such discounts as almost permanent elsewhere, funny concept. Anyway, glad YOU will get one!

Back to November 7 at the visit to Intratuin Duiven from which I still have some nice photos and videos to share.
We are still in the big hall with the big mountain with trains Fairground attractions and the lake with the bridge and lots of cable cars.
All five pictures are linked to videos

[_DD_]

great idea, Ruud - sooo beautiful, this deco or whatever we call it - many thanks again!

I bet Downton will love the red trees in the first 2 videos!
and in the third, are the white figurines wandering in a circle ghosts or angels? (lol - Duiven-TS?! lol at the couple on the bench, there they are!)
and hey, they copied your Cable car arrangement! (lol)

much to (re-)discover and definitely causing good mood and smiles

These are all so beautiful, and the detail is off the scale.
The Hop Stop a place for TS hoppers to get together.
The Sit and Stay fir our coop members to gather and exchange ideas.
I can imagine living in the village and celebrating Christmas. I’m a romantic at heart lol
Thank you once again for sharing these.
