Christmas carolling
Bringing some festive music to the Canary Wharf area, Tuesday 16th December sees the local choirs out in force to serenade you with traditional and modern carols. The East Wintergarden will be transformed by this special winter concert and there will be mince pies waiting for you after the carols are over.

Christmas shopping
November 2008 saw vistors enjoy an evening of shopping in winter style for Christmas. With fantastic discounts of up to 40 percent off, the Winter in Style event saw places like Reiss, Karen Millen and Ted Baker offering shoppers the chance to go home with some amazing bargains. With huge discounts at some great shops, and the chance to get hold of a great range of presents, that was the only night to do your Christmas shopping this year, and hopefully there will be more of the same for 2009.

Father Christmas and friends
Canary Wharf Christmas events make the area come alive with seasonal spirit this winter, including a visit from Father Christmas himself. Santa will make his grand arrival on Saturday 29th November complete with reindeer and sleigh. Father Christmas will arrive at 11am and stay in his grotto in Jubilee Place until 5pm. And to make the day even more special, there will be plenty of other exciting kids activities taking place.

See Santa all winter
Father Christmas will be back every weekend until Christmas, opening his grotto for special Christmas visits, along with face painting, craft workshops and storytelling events.

Canary Wharf Christmas Events are taking place throughout Christmas season, following Santa’s grand arrival on Saturday 29th November at 11am.
