Tiger Launches New Garden Building Show Site in Carlisle - A First for Cumbria

Woodlands Home & Garden Group is proud to announce the opening of a brand new Tiger garden building show site in Carlisle, bringing its award-winning range of premium timber buildings to consumers in Cumbria for the very first time.

Now open at Houghton Hall Garden Centre, the site is operated in partnership with Houghton Hall Garden Buildings and offers visitors the chance to explore a stunning collection of high-quality sheds, summerhouses, log cabins, garden rooms, and more—all handcrafted in the UK and designed to enhance any outdoor space.

The Carlisle location is the latest addition to Tiger’s fast-growing national retail network and marks the first collaboration with the Klondyke & Strikes Garden Centre group. It’s also Tiger’s seventeenth show site across the UK and the eighth new opening of 2025 alone, highlighting the brand’s impressive momentum in expanding access to its premium products.

Boasting over 20 fully assembled garden buildings on display, the new Carlisle show site is now one of the largest of its kind in the region. From compact tool storage to luxury garden retreats, the range caters to every need—whether it’s a place to work, relax, entertain, or exercise.

Visitors can browse some of Tiger’s most popular models including:

• The Tiger XL Heavyweight Workshop with heavy-duty framing
• The sleek Retreat Contemporary Summerhouse
• The versatile TigerFlex® Shiplap Apex Shed
• The spacious and stylish Aura 44mm Log Cabin

All buildings are handcrafted in Yorkshire using sustainably sourced, FSC®-certified timber, and come with Tiger’s industry-leading 20-year guarantee, underlining their commitment to quality, durability, and environmental responsibility.

Chetna Reay, Manager at Houghton Hall Garden Buildings, shared her enthusiasm:

"Bringing the Tiger brand to Carlisle was a fantastic opportunity. Tiger’s reputation for quality, their in-house manufacturing expertise, and their incredible range of outdoor buildings made them the natural choice for us. With 40 years additional experience in the construction industry, we know a great building when we see one! What’s more, through the Tiger network we’re able to offer professional installation for all Tiger customers in the region, making the process even more convenient and accessible."

"Carlisle is a major milestone for Tiger as our first show site in Cumbria, and we couldn’t be happier with its reception. Houghton Hall Garden Centre is a perfect setting—busy, vibrant, and popular with local shoppers. The team at Houghton Hall Garden Buildings has a great reputation for customer care and retail excellence, and we’re thrilled to be partnering with them to introduce the Tiger range to customers across Cumbria and beyond." 
Sam Jenkinson, Head of Marketing at Tiger

This new opening is a bright spot in the regional retail landscape, bringing jobs, footfall, and a quality brand experience to the local community at a time when many retailers are scaling back. With more customers wanting to invest in their outdoor space, the Carlisle site ensures they can see, touch, and experience the Tiger difference before making a purchase.
