The Seven Dials Winter Festival – 19th – 21st Nov

London shopping destination, Seven Dials announces their first-ever winter shopping festival that will take place between the 19th and 21st of November this year. For those who haven’t heard of Seven Dials, seven streets converge in the West End, forming a hidden shopping village! The three-day-long festival brings live music, street entertainment, festive food, and late-night Christmas shopping to get us all into the festive spirit in the run-up to Christmas day.

Ticket holders can expect pop-up pantomimes, wreath-making workshops, brass bands, gospel choirs, and festive light installations. For visitors who fancy indulging in festive food and drink while roaming the Dials, there will be a selection of festive delights available (think roasted chestnuts, mulled wine and s’mores!). Late-night shopping can be enjoyed with a complimentary tipple from the Seven Dials Prosecco truck from 5-7 pm each evening.

 

 

The Lineup:

On Friday evening, visitors can enjoy the soulful sounds of John Fisher and the IDMC Gospel Choir, bringing upbeat harmonic melodies to Earlham Street whilst creating their own Christmas wreath and eating roasted chestnuts.

On Saturday, Seven Dials welcomes culinary expert and TV personality Gizzi Erskine (@gizzierskine) as our headline act. Partnering with the duo behind the unique hotdog-style doughnut brand, Longboys, Gizzi will unveil her ‘Festive Longboy’ at Seven Dials Market, giving visitors the chance to join her culinary masterclass to fill and decorate their own Longboy with her personal festive flavours.

And on Sunday, bag yourself a ticket to the live podcast recording at The Donmar Warehouse with body confidence advocate and entrepreneur Alex Light (@alexlight_ldn). Alex will be speaking to body image campaigners Laura Adlington and Karina to discuss body confidence during this upcoming festive season, including a whistle-stop style guide, their favourite beauty hacks and top tips for shopping more consciously this Christmas.
