Have ‘A Very Merry Christmas’ shopping experience at the Apple Market

Christmas shopping can be a nightmare for most people with the same shops offering generic gift ideas. So this year, why not visit the Covent Garden Apple Market (open until 9pm on Thursdays during December), to discover something different - it’s a great destination for Londoners and tourists alike.

An established market for over 20 years, it’s one of London’s best kept secrets, offering a wide selection of British hand-made arts and crafts. There is something for everyone at the market; from the style conscious to the art lover. Choose from a selection of gifts including an equestrian-inspired handmade leather belt, an oversized lioness pendant which is a key trend this season, or a Japanese one-of- a-kind glass centrepiece.

Take in the sights, sounds and smells of Covent Garden during ‘A Very Merry Christmas’, with traditional choirs, real reindeer on the Piazza, a 40ft Christmas tree, a 32ft topiary reindeer, roasted chestnuts and mulled wine, fun workshops for kids, storytelling sessions for all the family and much more.
