Christmas is almost here! Well, in 40 days (or less, depending on the time you read this)! As the weather’s changing and the festive season is drawing near, there seem to be a lot Christmas shows, fairs and events popping up everywhere. There’s always something to look forward to at these Christmas fairs and markets, like Country Living Christmas Fair! Not only do they give you great ideas on how to decorate your home this Christmas, but you can also find the cutest gifts and gadgets at these shows.
This week, I got the opportunity to visit Country Living Christmas Fair at the Business Design Center, Islington. The fair started on Wednesday 11th November, but it will run until Sunday the 15th. This will give you plenty of time to pop down for a peek and start sorting out your Christmas presents.
There’s definitely a lot of things to see at the Christmas fair! There are all sort of workshops, a Christmas theatre with various masterclasses, an area dedicated to food and hundreds of exhibitors. I’ve taken tons of photos from the fair because everything looked so pretty! In this post, I’ve included the best photos from some of my favrourite exhibitors, but there are definitely a lot more amazing things to see at the show!

Pollyfields (Stand VG 1): These garlands are stunning and smells amazing! It’s the perfect home decor! |

Candles de Fleur (GH27): Candle and tealight holder in one, Basically, these candles burn through the center, so you can use the outer shell as a gorgeous tealight holder once burnt through. |
