A HAMPSHIRE pub has been transformed into a winter wonderland this Christmas.

Frampton’s in Ringwood has had a festive facelift thanks to Arcade Flowers who have created a giant flower display called the Mystical Christmas Queen.

The pub has used Arcade Flowers for its Christmas decorations ever since opening three years ago and staff said this was the best yet.

Arcade Flowers owner Emma Newson-Smith said they were challenged to make something ‘breath-taking’.

She added: “It took a big team including a steel worker, a scaffolding tower, a team of florists, lots of muscles and a very early Sunday morning start to get the ‘Frampton Queen’ securely in place. For the whole of December, the Frampton’s queen will be in position dominating the Ringwood high-street.

“It’s definitely worth a visit to Frampton’s for a cup of great coffee in the most festive place in Ringwood, watching the reaction of the passing public as they see the queen hovering above the high street. We have definitely brought a little bit of London to the New Forest.”
