5 Quirky Christmas Events In London
Sunday, November 27, 2016
The lights have been switched-on, the touching holiday adverts have appeared, and the window displays have been adorned with all the tinsel and garland you can imagine. Christmas has officially arrived in London!
If you're looking for something a little quirky and a little unusual, or somewhere off the beaten path to ring in the holidays this year, this is for you. From Scandi feasts to a Santa pub crawl, this list is full of some weird and wonderful things that celebrate Christmas in the capital.
1. Hullabaloo Presents Tacky & Tinselled: A Classless, Christmas Pop Up
This warm winter pop-up in the heart of Shoreditch is the ultimate Christmas extravaganza. This year they'll be wowing crowds with London's first boozy indoor blizzard. Whether you want to dance the night away in the cosy Disco Room, or indulge in a delicious five-course Scandinavian meal in the Feasting Hall, Nordic Yule Fest is the perfect place to get your 'hygge' on. Tickets: £8-£85
3. Hot Since 91: 90's Karaoke Party
9 December, 10:30 pm at The Garage
The legendary Santa-themed pub crawl is back and better than ever! For over 16 years, Londoners have dug out their Santa suits, running around the city spreading holiday cheer and enjoying a few beers along the way. This year they'll be even more St. Nick's roaming the streets, handing out presents and deciding who's been naughty or nice. It's a the craziest Christmas day out in the city, and you don't want to miss it. Tickets: Free with registration
5. Christmess
Expect singing waitresses, foot stompin' live music, and a 12-course New Orleans inspired meal at this wild Christmas dinner party in Waterloo. The deep south meets Santa's grotto, with naughty cocktails, delectable food served up by Slap Ya Papa, a secret absinthe bar, twinkling bohemian decor, and eccentric performances by Marbles & Ware Collective. Trust me, you've never been to a dinner party like this. Tickets: £35 lunch, £40 dinner
