The Tree of Love, Joy and Hope will have a new yuletide makeover with a well known message ‘All I want for Christmas is…’, which will illuminate the streets and become the ideal Insta moment for the family Christmas card.

Pupils from Connaught House School Choir will perform an open-air performance of classic Christmas carols mixed with a few modern hits to get everyone into the festive spirit. Live musical performances will continue into the evening.

Throughout the afternoon and into the early evening, a series of complimentary sustainable Christmas workshops including snow globe making and pine cone decorating. On Kendal Street, visitors are invited to meet and pose for a photo with Santa Paws, London’s very own husky claus. A Pawtrait illustrator will be drawing Pawtraits – a chance for visitors to have an illustration drawn of them with their dog.

The independent boutiques, art galleries and eateries of Connaught Village will all be pitching in with their own festive treats too, with more details to be announced shortly. Expect discounts, in-store activations, free food and drink, and plenty more.

Pose under the magical tree lightning installation ‘All I want for Christmas is…’ for an Instagrammable moment and be sure to share it on Instagram tagging @connaughtvillage in order to win a special prize worth £500.
