A New Chapter for Gates Garden Centre

We are delighted to announce the acquisition of Dobbies Stapleton, formerly known as Woodlands Garden Centre, near to Hinckley in Leicestershire

Following a brief refurbishment period, the centre will reopen as Gates Woodlands Hinckley.

When we reopen later this month, you’ll find the same friendly faces and familiar concessions, along with a brand-new Farm Shop. Our restaurant will be beautifully refurbished by the end of March. 

We’re excited to recreate the exceptional shopping and dining experiences enjoyed by our Oakham customers, to the new Woodlands Hinckley location. Stay tuned for more information about the reopening.
