A Greater Manchester business has been left reeling after one of its Christmas trees was stolen from their shop over the weekend. Owners of The Hive, a general store and bar in Altrincham, arrived at the shop on Monday to find one of its 5ft trees had been lifted over the gate the previous evening.
The Hive has been selling the British Nordmann trees for £60, while Fraser Firs go for between £65 and £85. The shop, which began as VH Interiors in the town’s market quarter, was set up by Steven Sherratt and Gareth Wilkin as a go-to for vintage and reclaimed homeware.
It has since moved to its showroom, The Hive, over by Navigation Road tram stop, and has been selling a number of festive wares and items including premium pine Christmas trees, wreaths and decorations.
