We were delighted to have family and friends come together for a magical festive shopping experience at the Twinkle of Christmas Fair 2023.

THE FAIR

Now in its second year, 30 luxury lifestyle brands were handpicked for their originality, style and quality. There were a wealth of gift ideas spanning lifestyle, home, fashion, beauty, jewellery, art, food, drink and sustainable options. Visitors made their way around traditional wooden cabins in a specially-created winter wonderland and discovered a treasure trove of perfect presents that will be cherished for years to come. This year, Christmas is all wrapped up.

THE PROGRAMME 

Hundreds of visitors got their festive fix with demonstrations and hands-on crafting workshops: discovering stylish ways to personalise presents, creating handmade decorations or taking part in a wreath making session. Father Christmas also made a special guest appearance on Saturday.  We would like to thank all of our visitors who participated, and our showrooms who hosted these spectacular workshops.
