Spirit of Christmas Returns to Olympia London – The Ultimate Festive Shopping Experience.
There’s no better way to start the festive season than with a visit to the Spirit of Christmas Fair — one of our favourite annual events here at Women Talking. Stepping through the doors of Olympia London, you’re instantly transported into a world of twinkling lights, gorgeous gifts, artisan food and drink, and that unmistakable Christmas sparkle. It’s the ultimate way to get inspired, get organised, and truly get into the festive spirit.
Returning for its 24th year, the fair runs from 3–9 November 2025, bringing together over 600 independent and boutique brands offering everything from homeware and decorations to beauty, fashion, jewellery, and children’s treasures. You’ll find much-loved returning favourites including White Coco, Ankole, and Harry Rocks, alongside exciting new discoveries like Dragon’s Den favourite Beevive, The Print Rescuer, Walkies the Board Game, and Diddly Squat Farm.
Introducing Spirit Rising Stars
New for 2025, Spirit Rising Stars celebrates 30 emerging small businesses trading for less than five years. This inspiring new section will be located on the gallery level, alongside the always-popular artisan food and drink producers — an area expanded this year following visitor demand. Expect to sample treats from Fatso Chocolate, Pimentae Margarita Cocktails, Hawstone, Exmoor Caviar, Crazy Bastard Sauce, and The Gin Bothy.
Eat, Drink & Be Merry
Take a break from shopping and indulge in a bespoke menu created by Great British Menu winner Kate Austen, served throughout the day. Or, for a touch of festive luxury, enjoy a traditional cream tea or raise a glass at one of three Louis Roederer champagne bars — the perfect way to toast the start of the season.
Inspiration & Experiences
There’s something special about learning new skills or discovering fresh ideas to make your Christmas even more memorable. This year’s talks and workshops promise just that, featuring:
- Louis Roederer Champagne Tasting
- Personal Christmas Styling
- Reverend Hubert Cocktail Masterclass
- Tablescaping for the Perfect Festive Table
- Lavenders Blue Floral Demonstrations
- Clodagh McKenna Cooking Demonstrations
