For four days throughout December - 1st, 2nd, 8th and 9th December - the charming Quadrant Arcade will be transformed into a ‘Customise Your Christmas’ hub where, courtesy of Regent Street, shoppers can enjoy incredible complimentary services to make their presents truly stand out under the Christmas tree.
From exclusive bauble-making workshops, to bespoke gift wrapping service, monogramming and a fun photo booth, there’s something for everyone in the hub to truly bring the Spirit of Christmas to life.
Dressed with glittering Silver Birch trees, gilded mirrors and festive foliage, this chic winter workshop will be watched over by traditional Toy Soldiers and Sugar Plum Fairies, adding an extra touch of enchantment for visitors of all ages.
In the spirit of giving and goodwill, Regent Street will also continue to support London busiest homelessness charity The Connection with a gifting point in the hub for donations and unwanted clothing. We hope shoppers will give generously at this special time of year.
Read on for a full debrief on all the complimentary services on offer:
Bespoke ‘Regent Street’ Gift Wrap & Calligrapher Tags
For gifts that almost look too good to unwrap, our resident team, specially trained in the art of gift wrapping, will be on hand to skilfully and beautifully wrap all your loved ones’ gifts in custom made Regent Street paper, with finishing touches of premium gold ribbons and bows.
This beautiful Limited Edition wrapping paper is hand drawn to showcase Regent Street’s famous street curve by night, lit up with this year’s spectacular festive lights display ‘The Spirit of Christmas’.
Whilst waiting for gifts to be wrapped, head over to the hub’s in-house Calligrapher, Lucy Edmonds of Quill London, who, with her skilled hand, will beautifully write the names of those you care most about on snow-white gift tags made of recycled material.
Combined, these provide a truly one-of-a-kind, extra special finishing touch, that loved ones will remember for years to come.
