This year Covent Garden Christmas Market sees the return of the iconic decorations, legendary Christmas tree, festive markets, many mulled wine varieties and of course, everything you need to create the most magical experience yet. All this can be found within the open air, pedestrianised Piazza and surrounding streets which are filled to the brim with great brands, heated terraces and the best dining in the West End.
The famous Covent Garden Christmas Decorations will be twinkling daily from 11am – midnight from 8th November – 3rd January 2025. Please note that during Armistice Day (Monday 11th November) all Christmas lights will be switched off.
New for 2024 is the Covent Garden Christmas Sleigh which will provide the ultimate festive photo moment. The traditionally decorated Sleigh, located in the South Hall of the Market Building, will be a sustainably sourced, reconditioned 1884 carriage hand painted by British artist James Gemmill.
