What’s more Christmassy than visiting Santa’s grotto? Going for a pint or two with the man in red in his favourite boozer, of course. Humbug, an immersive Christmas dive bar, allows you to do just that – and join Mr Claus in rounds of games, sing-a-longs, live performances, storytelling and more. The pop-up is going bigger than ever for 2026, moving to Greenwich’s cavernous Borough Hall, where you’ll find themed cocktails, live music, DJ sets, a interactive games and, naturally, a shrine to queen of Christmas Mariah Carey. It’s all threaded together with a mission to get Santa back on track, after he’s discovered a love for rock’n’roll, joined house band Johnny Whiskey & The Barflies, and decided he’d rather rock out than spend his Christmas delivering presents. Saving the festive season never sounded so fun.
