Ham Yard Urban Village is hosting a special evening celebrating the festive season on Thursday 8 December. Expect live music, champagne, mulled wine and festive treats.

CHRISTMAS AFTERNOON TEA AT THE GORING
The Goring in Belgravia is perhaps the most regal hotel in the UK — in fact, it has been granted a Royal Warrant for hospitality services by Her Majesty The Queen and the Middleton family stayed there during Kate and William’s wedding.
It will be serving an English Christmas afternoon tea, serving a special blend of nutmeg, ground cloves, orange and all the evocative spices of the Christmas season.
While you're there, check out the Garrard tiara-themed Christmas tree, inspired by Garrard’s historic tiaras worn by Her Majesty.
