Santa’s Grotto @ Lauderdale House
Dec 6 @ 10:00 am – 5:30 pm

Every year a magical Christmas grotto springs up in Lauderdale House as the man himself (Father Christmas, Santa Claus, Père Noël, Saint Nick) pays us a special seasonal visit. Children of all ages are welcome to meet him!

Santa is very eager to see all of the good children this year! Enjoy free winter colouring-in pages (with coloured pencils to borrow) as you wait for Santa. When it’s your turn, you’ll be taken into our Long Gallery, transformed into a winter grotto with festive decorations, where you will meet Ken the Elf. Ken the Elf will accompany you to see Santa, nestled away in his cosy room, who will have a chat with each child before sending them off with a present.

 

‘One of London’s top five Santas’ (Time Out)

Turning Earth Ceramics Winter Market @ Turning Earth Highgate

Turning Earth Ceramics Winter Market @ Turning Earth Highgate

We are thrilled to announce our upcoming Ceramics Markets, a vibrant showcase of artistic talent and handmade craftsmanship, with over 200 different makers over four days.

Our markets offer a range of treasures – from the most intricate vase to the simplest yet classy cup. Check out the variety of pieces, chat with the people who made them, and see why pottery has become so popular around London. Avoid the last-minute Christmas stress and pick up a locally made gift that’s made with care while supporting small businesses nearby.

After the first market at Camden Art Centre on the 29-30th November, the second appointment will be at Turning Earth Highgate, on the 13th and 14th December, with over 120 different makers over the weekend. Like all our classic markets, we’ll have freshly baked sourdough pizza by Sourdough Daali, and festive drinks and coffees to warm you up in cold weather. There will be live music to add an extra dose of festive cheer to the atmosphere, and last but not least, there will be live wheel-throwing demos, so you can get up close to see how lumps of clay transform into beautiful pottery. 

Our markets are free entry, wheelchair accessible, and dog friendly (but on the leash, please!)
