Unless you want to be running around like a headless turkey on 24 December, you should probably start doing some Christmas shopping. Westfield is a winning choice for gift buying, but with tonnes of festive events too, why not make a day of it?
Westfield is about much more than shopping. Sit down to a special Christmas menu at one of the many restaurants. Jamie's Italian is even offering crackers and fizz on arrival.
Then work off the calories on the rink at Westfield London's skating pop-up.
Little ones will be excited at the prospect of meeting the man himself at Santa's Grotto: this year, both centres play host to a Kung Fu Panda themed grotto. Interactive games, and even a personalised boarding pass, accompany a swift flight to the North Pole to meet Santa. Under 12s also receive a gift.
Gift-buying is tiring stuff, and luckily there is the perfect reward awaiting you in the form of a cocktail adventure at Westfield London. Beyond the Waterfall: A Cocktail Odyssey is a grown up's adventure inspired by mythology, and powered by mixology. Think quirky cocktails and fairy-tales — all with a well-deserved sit down after ticking off your present list.
If you're heading to Westfield Stratford City, expect carols galore, as Christmas choirs and bandstand slots mean there is music every day to boost your Christmas spirit. Festive crafts and an 'Elf Yourself' station are sure to keep the kids happy whilst you get some last minute gifts, and may even inspire you to get creative.
This is Christmas shopping with a difference: Westfield this December is sure to get your gift-buying sorted, keep the kids entertained, AND get you in the festive mood. Make a day of it and feel utterly Christmassy.
Westfield's ice rink is open until 8 January and tickets can be purchased here. Santa's Grotto runs until 24 December: tickets start at £8.50 and advance booking is recommended.
