What Is Spirit of Christmas Fair
Every autumn, London opens its festive season with a series of inspiring events. Following the Spirit of Summer Fair, the year 2025 brings an equally bright celebration – the Spirit of Christmas Fair.
The Spirit of Christmas Fair 2025 will once again showcase an impressive selection of creators and independent producers from London and across the UK. Organisers expect more than 55,000 visitors between 3 and 9 November . Continuing its long tradition, the Spirit of Christmas Fair will take place at Olympia London, bringing together over 600 independent brands. This event creates an atmosphere where designer gifts, gourmet discoveries and unique accessories meet the elegant anticipation of Christmas.
Shopping, Inspiration and Festive Spirit
At the fair, you will find everything – from home decorations and fashion to rare chocolates and British delicacies. In 2025, a quarter of all exhibitors will be new, introduced within the Rising Stars of Spirit section. Each hall of Olympia represents its own lifestyle, carefully designed and curated. The Spirit of Christmas Fair will take place across three main halls – Olympia Grand, Olympia National and Olympia West. The convenient location near Kensington (Olympia) Underground station makes it easy for visitors to arrive from any part of London.
Venue and Schedule of Spirit of Christmas Fair
The Olympia Exhibition Centre is one of London’s most renowned event venues, located at Hammersmith Road, London W14 8UX. From 3 to 9 November, it will host the fair on the following schedule:
- Monday – Wednesday: 10:00 - 18:00

Visitors can reach Olympia by Underground or bus. However, for those who value comfort and time, it is best to book a transfer from the airport or hotel in advance. London Airport Transfers allow you to arrive directly at the entrance to Olympia without waiting or searching for parking.
Workshops and Inspiring Talks
In addition to the many shopping opportunities, the Christmas Fair will feature a rich programme of creative workshops (see the full schedule). This year’s guests include Amanda Owen (The Yorkshire Shepherdess), writer Elif Shafak, House & Garden editor Clare Foster and chef Clodagh McKenna. Their sessions combine inspiration and experience, helping visitors to create a unique festive style and atmosphere..
Culinary Discoveries and Tastings
The culinary areas of Spirit 2025 deserve special attention. The new partner of the fair, chef Kate Austen - known for Great British Menu – has prepared a seasonal all-day menu. Guests will enjoy dishes of modern British cuisine, traditional afternoon tea and Louis Roederer champagne tastings. This is where shopping and gastronomy merge into one festive ritual.
