Redchurch Street is hosting its first ever Christmas festival

East London’s chicest shopping street launches a new Christmas market this week, with 10 percent off and 8pm closing in all stores all week.

Festivities kick off on Thursday night with live music and cocktails from Modern Society and Dirty Bones followed by carols on Ebor Street and free mulled wine on Saturday and wreath-making with Grace & Thorn on Monday night (£80, booking essential).

Busy this week? Fear not: there are tons more workshops for the rest of the month, and monogramming in store at Modern Society on Dec 17.
