Looking for prezzie inspiration? Look no further than London’s Christmas markets and fairs.
If you're not careful, the run-up to Christmas is a month-long bacchanal of weeknight boozing and panicked online shopping. But it doesn't have to be that way. London is full of opportunities for more wholesome, mindful socialising: let the festive stress melt away as you learn a new skill from one of this city's master craftspeople.
You can learn to blow a glass bauble to rival the insanely lavish offerings at the Selfridges Christmas shop. You can crochet a hot water bottle to keep yourself cosy on a much needed December night in. Or, best of all, why not kill two birds with one stone, and unwind while making gifts to wow your friends and family?
This year’s Christmas craft workshops are still being announced, so keep checking back here to find out about the latest classes and sessions you can sign up for.
