First launched in 2001, the Spirit of Christmas Fair in partnership with House & Garden magazine was created to celebrate and showcase the very best of independent brands and small businesses, offering a unique and magical shopping experience to be enjoyed on your own or with friends and family.
While the Fair has grown and evolved over the past 23 years, our mission to capture the true Spirit of Christmas has remained at the heart of everything we do, with our very own original slogan of 'SHOP. DINE. SOCIALISE' still firmly in its place today.
For seven days only, the striking setting of Olympia London becomes home to over 600 incredible brands, each one handpicked for its originality, design and high-quality craftsmanship. You’ll discover gifts for everyone on your list with products including homeware, fashion, jewellery, toys, decorations, artisanal food and drink and much more.
But shopping is just the beginning at Spirit. Each day at the Fair offers plenty to do with complimentary creative workshops, talks from special guests and live music from exciting bands. Our diverse dining options including all-day tapas or Afternoon Tea ensure you won’t be leaving hungry, and cuvees from Louis Roederer’s champagne bars offer the perfect pause for refreshment. Your ticket to Spirit also grants you free access to our co-located Fairs: The Winter Art & Antiques Fair and The Luxury Travel Fair so you may want to spread your time across more than one day to take advantage of everything on offer.
At Spirit of Christmas, you’ll not only leave with bags full of incredible gifts and inspiration, but with a renewed love for the festive season ahead.
