“We have chosen to join Spirit of Christmas this year because we believe that Spirit of Christmas is the absolute pinnacle of Christmas shopping in England, and a place to find something special and unique for your loved ones. We are so excited to show our range to the Spirit crowd!”
Newmarket 875 is a luxury fashion brand founded in 2023 in Newmarket, England, whose goal is to share the beauty of Thoroughbred with the world through fashion and lifestyle. Horse racing is a sport rich in history, heritage, craftmanship and attention to detail. Newmarket 875 offer a range of high-quality men’s, women’s children’s and homeware, most of which are adorned with the iconic Newmarket Stripe, a symbol of the equestrian world for over 350 years.

“We signed up to Spirit of Christmas for 2024 to share our brand with people who might not know about us and to show off our timeless pieces in time for Christmas gifting.”
Welcome to Ozzie & Clementine, Sophie and Emily's dream wardrobe where you can discover the designers we love. Sophie and Emily started their online boutique during the first lockdown in 2020. This small independent business is made up of two women with a passion for clothes and a flair for business. They think life is better with colour and joy and we want our clothes to inspire women and to help them to find their own style.
It's important to Sophie and Emily that their pieces last the test of time so you can wear their clothes again and again, and for any occasion – with classic shapes to flatter any shape.
“For us, Spirit of Christmas was always a 'target show' when we first created Plowden & Fallow. We are therefore hugely looking forward to exhibiting in a bustling, energetic environment full of like-minded exhibiting brands and most of all, we can't wait to meet customers old and new to introduce curious people to our products. We firmly believe in slow fashion and supporting artisanal craftsman/ womanship, so Spirit of Christmas aligns very well with this closely held belief.”
Plowden & Fallow is a contemporary British fine fragrance and wet shaving house producing luxury fragrances, shaving creams, aftershave balms and shaving accessories. Born in Shropshire, a quiet backwater of deepest rural England, steeped in history, folklore and eccentric characters. It was here we began our journey to create the finest aromatic creations of a unisex nature. At the heart of our philosophy is the utilisation of the highest quality ingredients and components, crafted into fine British fragrances and wet shaving products, which, whilst giving an inspired nod to tradition, contain a healthy dose of an eccentric modern twist.
“I’ve wanted to take part for a few years but was thwarted by covid and then a horrible eye surgery! So, 2024 is the year I will finally be at Spirit and I’m hoping Quince Jewellery will be on lots of visitors Christmas lists.”
Quince started 5 years ago when Karen packed up the kids for half term and travelled to India. Here she was introduced to a wonderful stone dealer and the first Quince collection was born. Karen has always loved jewellery and its power for self-expression but wanted to focus on comfortable jewellery for everyday wear. She works with silver but colourful stones and pearls are Karens thing, making pieces that people will cherish and perhaps hand down.
“We're thrilled to be exhibiting at the Spirit of Christmas for the first time this November. As a UK-based company it's a fantastic opportunity for us to showcase our range of chess sets in our home city and to connect directly with visitors who appreciate quality design and craftsmanship who are looking for unique gifts for their loved ones.”
Founded by two London-based architects, Chris Prosser and Ian Flood, Skyline Chess takes iconic architecture from around the world and pits the greats against each other, bringing impeccable design, craftsmanship and gamesmanship into a beautiful set. As flatmates, Chris and Ian would play chess in the evenings and concoct the architectural skylines of their dreams to compete in theoretical games, thus creating the concept of Skyline Chess. The idea of products being a memento of relationships and occasion, combined with an architect’s eye for design, led to the creation of a truly unique take on an ageless game.
“We are so excited to be part of Spirit for the first time this year, having attended for years as customers and always discovering unique brands - we can't wait to be part of the show ourselves.”
Raven James is founded by Fleur Bell, who created YouTube channel Fleur De Force in 2009 and has since become one of the UK’s most successful beauty and lifestyle influencers. Fleur’s love of antique jewellery began at a young age, when her mum – a jewellery collector herself – would gift her vintage pieces for special occasions. Since then, Fleur has curated her own collection of antique pieces, many of which served as the inspiration for Raven James, along with her passion for wearable, high-quality pieces that can be adapted to create multiple different looks.
Warings Lifestore
“Long time admirers and visitors of the Spirit of Christmas Fair – if we were to dedicate to a show this is the only one for us. This year we were so excited about our stock in store that we decided this was a perfect opportunity to share. The right venue, time of year, visitors and co-exhibitors. This will be our only external showcase this year and we hope to meet a vast array of new potential devotees.”
Warings Lifestore is a beautiful store inside one of the very few remaining medieval commercial buildings in central Norwich – Norfolk. With a thatched roof and beamed interior, the store is the perfect backdrop for the homeware offerings, popular with locals and visitors. Warings Lifestore have their own manufacturing for furniture and soft furnishings and combine those pieces with a carefully procured range of mostly hand-crafted high-quality living and dining pieces. Our motto is that if practical it has to also be beautiful, and if just beautiful that’s fine by us as we aim to stock the desirable pay day treats.
The Box Office is now open, with six months until Christmas, but only 130 days until Spirit of Christmas Fair (who’s counting), come and join us and these wonderful new brands at Olympia London, 4-10 November 2024.
Spirit is the perfect place to shop, dine, enjoy time with friends and curate Christmas your way – all in one place for only seven days!
