There’s nothing more enchanting than a walk down the famous Carnaby street during Christmas time. Each year, Carnaby invites the public to view their stunning light installations, which illuminates the streets while the city bustles about below. For the second year in a row, Carnaby has partnered with the charity Choose Love, recently announcing that the theme of their stunning light installation this season will be ‘Kaleidoscope.’

The installation will feature over 600 illuminated butterflies, individually decorated with vibrant neon patterns and reflective wings. The group of butterflies, which are also delightfully called a kaleidoscope, represent transformation, change, hope and life – something we’ve all experienced over the past two years.

Choose Love, a charity dedicated to helping refugees and displaced people around the world, supplies essential goods and services including hot meals, necessary items for children and families, legal advice, and provides long-term solutions to refugees searching for a new life. In addition to providing life-saving support, Choose Love has the only charitable shop in the world where you can purchase real goods that go directly to refugee individuals and families in need. 

Find their pop-up shop at 3 Carnaby street, where you’ll be able to purchase limited edition goods that support displaced people around the globe. Additionally, look out for celebrity guests helping the cause including Laura Whitmore, Dermot O’Leary, Dawn O’Porter, Annie Mac and Carey Mulligan.

Join the official launch night on November 4th, where you can enjoy 20% off Carnaby Street shops, in-store special events, goodie bags, Christmas activities, live music and more. Complete your Christmas shopping early while supporting an incredible cause.
