Santa will be stopping in at Hatton Garden Centre and Shopping Village for a late night Christmas shopping event this Friday

Hatton Garden Centre and Shopping village is hosting a late night Christmas shopping event this Friday (22nd November) from 6pm to 8pm. Since its conversion from traditional Victorian farm buildings some 40 years ago, Hatton Shopping Village is home to over 20 independent shops in the old cart stalls.

The event, which is free to enter, will enable visitors to explore a wide range of shops to find the perfect gifts in this charming, festive shopping destination. The village features a wonderful selection of traders and services, from ladieswear, sweets, bikes and crafts to a hairdresser, beautician, physiotherapist and more.

Father Christmas will be there to switch on the lights, whilst Mary and Joseph will be walking donkeys around the village for children to see. Visitors can also enjoy roasted chestnuts, and listen to traditional Christmas carols from a contemporary 100+ choir.

The outdoor Christmas Markets are also running every weekend from, from 11am – 5pm. A diverse range of stalls from local suppliers will be selling a multitude of unique and special gifts.
