1,000 Mistletoe Kisses Light Up Borough Market

Is the power of love even stronger during the festive season? Let’s hope so, because Borough Market hopes to switch on its Christmas display with the help of 1,000 kisses under 1,000 bunches of mistletoe suspended from the roof of the market building. Unfortunately harnessing the energy of affection is still the stuff of fairytales, but one couple will magically trigger the illuminations, when their smacker completes the electrical circuit that powers the lights. And if enough people share the love, the gathering will break the world record for the most simultaneous kisses in a single venue. You don’t need a romantic attachment to get involved – family members and friends deserve your smackers too. Just turn up at 12.30pm in the New Market Hall wearing something festive. You’ll be rewarded with carols from the Choir of Royal Holloway and free mince pies. We wish you a merry kissmas.
