FatFace, which has 210 stores, was looking for a picturesque Christmas tree farm and decided that Catsfield Christmas Tree Farm offered exactly what it needed.

In late Summer, the farm was turned into a winter Christmas setting for FatFace’s fashion shoot with child and adult models in jumpers and scarves, stylists, photographers and props. A vintage Land Rover that became a focal point in one of the sets was sourced locally.

To give the scene an authentic festive feel, an artificial snow making machine was used to produce flakes made from paper. The artificial snow was completely biodegradable and designed to dissolve when it rained.

Chris Tidy, from FatFace, explained: “Catsfield Christmas Tree Farm offered everything in terms of location and style, the staff were welcoming and very helpful both in the run up to and during our photoshoot.

“The shoot had to be socially distanced and we had to adapt other aspects because of COVID-19.”

Clive Collins, founder of Catsfield Christmas Tree Farm, said: “I am really proud that FatFace chose us for their photoshoot, particularly as there is a store in nearby Battle. Knowing that our farm will feature in their global winter campaign is very exciting.”
