A Very Merry Marylebone Christmas
Welcome in the festive season with an evening of sparkle and joy, as Marylebone Village transforms into a wintry wonderland in time for Christmas.
This year's event will support the Evelina London Children's Charity, part of Guy’s & St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust, raising vital funds to provide cutting-edge equipment, pioneering research, and enhanced family support services to help improve specialist care and outcomes for young patients and their families.
Try your luck at our famous Merry Marylebone Charity Tombola, packed with incredible prizes donated by the Village's shops and businesses. Prizes include a £200 voucher for Carlotta, an overnight stay for two at The Marylebone Hotel, two pairs of shoes from Flabelus, a personalised shopping experience with Luca Faloni, and many more. All proceeds go to Evelina London Children's Charity. Visit the Howard de Walden information tent on Marylebone High Street (opposite Jacadi) to enter for your chance to win. The Tombola is open from 3pm to 8pm, or until sold out.
Gather in Devonshire Street for the official switch-on at 6pm, led by a special celebrity guest. Watch this space to find out who'll be doing the honours closer to the time!
Created from 100% recycled plastic bottles and using 95% less energy than conventional lighting, the Marylebone Village Christmas lights reflect a commitment to sustainability, while continuing the long tradition of seasonal charm and sparkle.
Wander through the Village and browse curated stalls, picking up festive food and drink along the way. Don’t miss the Ferris wheel for a bird’s-eye view of the capital all lit up for Christmas.
Meanwhile, younger visitors get a chance to meet the big man himself (and secure a spot on the Nice List!) at Santa’s Very Marylebone Grotto.
Get creative and make something special to take home, with three hands-on workshops taking place on Nottingham Street (outside number 24) during the celebrations. All ticket proceeds go to Evelina London Children's Charity. Places are limited, so book early.
