Where To Get All Your Christmas Shopping Sorted

Celebrating its 21st anniversary this year, Spirit of Christmas Fair is back at Olympia London from 31st October to 6th November. For 2022, the seven-day shopping destination is bigger than ever, featuring 700 small independent businesses, over 200 new and exclusive brands and many returning favourites ­– think Addison Ross, Belazu, Bias Editions, Freddie’s Flowers, If Only If Nightwear, Lucy’s Dressings, Nio Cocktails and Rebecca Udall.

There’s something for everyone across the venue’s two halls, with homeware, fashion for both men and women, baby and children's gifts, decorations, health and beauty, food and drink, and jewellery. From showstopping pieces to more unusual items, discerning shoppers will find plenty of one-off gift ideas and Christmas essentials across the seven days.

The Spirit of Christmas Fair gives guests the opportunity to shop more consciously. Championing sustainability, many of the fair’s independent boutiques put ethical principles at the forefront of their businesses, use quality natural or recycled materials, and support local communities.

With plenty of food and drink experiences on offer, visitors can really make a day of it. Fine dining is available in Mosimann’s Winter Restaurant (reservations can be made at the same time guests book their tickets), which will be serving everything from brunch to afternoon tea, while champagne will be flowing at the Louis Roederer champagne bars. For something a little more casual, the Food Hall will be stocked with food and drink options from Royal Warrant holders and Great Taste award-winners, such as Bo Tree Farm, Oh So Saucy, Wiston Estate and Highland Liquor.

Ticketholders will get complimentary entry into the Winter Art & Antiques Fair from 1st to 6th November, when specialist dealers will offer a wide choice of high-quality vetted art and antiques. In addition, Condé Nast Traveller’s Luxury Travel Fair takes place alongside the Spirit of Christmas Fair from 3rd to 6th November – ideal if you’re planning a big holiday for 2023.
