We’ve rounded up the best events in Covent Garden to help you plan your next visit. Whether it’s events on the Piazza, seasonal collections in-store or discovering the latest new openings in the neighbourhood, we’ve got you covered.
This year sees the return of our iconic decorations, legendary Christmas tree, an immersive LEGO installation, many mulled wine varieties and of course, the daily snowfall. New for this festive season is a Frozen takeover, a traditional Christmas Village complete with bauble dining domes, a Christmas Sandwich Festival and much more. All this can be found in our open air, pedestrianised Piazza and surrounding streets which are filled to the brim with great brands, heated terraces and the best dining in the West End.
With only a handful of weeks until Christmas, Covent Garden is the perfect place to buy your presents, get them wrapped and then have a takeaway mulled wine and mince pie afterwards as a reward for a job well done.
Looking for something you can only get in Covent Garden? How about something you can get personalised? You will find all this and more in our open-air pedestrianised Piazza, plus you might even find some surprises along the way. Who knows, it might even be snowing.
