Christmas Shopping in Connaught Village

On Thursday 22nd November Connaught Village will be hosting a festive Christmas Shopping Evening, taking place from 6-8pm where exclusive activities and music will run throughout the village’s 45 shops and restaurants. Don’t leave it to the last minute getting annoyed in the crowds in Oxford Street, this is a chance to actually enjoy getting through your long present list. You might just find yourself treating yourself here too, there are so many lovely shops in Mayfair and I am sure you have been good all year and deserve something new for a party!

Shoppers can discover independent boutiques and meet the designers and owners including Lucy Choi London, Judy Wu, ME+EM, Eliza Jane Howell, The Place London for Men and Women, Fé Hair & Beauty, Mud Australia, Kokoro, De Roemer,         The Dresser and Viola.

Free activities will include fashion illustrator, Eleni from Fall into London who will be bringing shoppers to life through beautiful drawings, complimentary in-store prosecco and mulled wine and a live masterclass from established food writer, Sudi Pigott over at Connaught Kitchens, who will be demonstrating how to make homemade blinis as well as tastings of ‘Atayef’. Atayef is an Arabic sweetmeat like pancake filled with almonds, cinnamon, cardamom, orange blossom and clotted cream, a rather more exotic alternative to mince pies.

Many of Connaught Village’s retailers will be offering one-off masterclasses and 20% discount from brands such as Lucy Choi, Vitamasques, Eliza Jane Howell, Kokoro and The Place London.

Connaught Village is also supporting local charity COSMIC (Children of St. Mary’s Intensive Care) where shoppers can make a charity donation if they wish on the evening.
