Spirit of Christmas Fair 2019, Kensington Olympia

Forget making a panicked dash down Oxford Street, laden with bags of generic, mass-produced gifts. Instead, get a head start on Christmas shopping, find festive inspiration and discover an array of talented designers at London's Spirit of Christmas Fair.

Browse the selection of 900 specially-selected independent boutiques, where you'll find jewellery, decorations, clothing, toys and gifts to delight even the trickiest of customers. Instead of the stress of high street retail, the fair brings festivity and fun to the Christmas shopping experience.

Stock up on stocking fillers and a little something for yourself at the Spirit of Christmas Fair

Whet your appetite for Christmassy delicacies at the Food Hall, where you can stock-pile all those little touches that make Christmas dinner feel extra special: chutneys, liquors, chocolates, cheeses, olive oils and cakes among them. Then take a break from Christmas shopping with lunch at the Mosimann’s restaurant pop-up, where festive delicacies are the order of the day. Next, get creative in a range of work shops where you can make wreaths, decorate cakes and up your gift-wrapping game. And don’t leave without toast your efforts at the Louis Roederer champagne bar.
