The programme will include candlelight opera, winter inspired food and drink, family friendly activities among other events.
As we hurtle towards Christmas, the Fulham Pier has announced details for its festive programme for visitors of all ages to enjoy.
Launching on the 12th November, Fulham Pier will be transformed into a woodland inspired winter wonderland, complete with large illuminated twinkling trees, indulgent festive food and drink, live entertainment, and seasonal experiences bringing the riverside destination to life.
Visitors will be able to enjoy festive culinary creations, seasonal cocktails, mulled rosé and sweet treats before exploring local craft-led Christmas markets, interactive family experiences and a packed programme of live music, performances and entertainment, all set against the backdrop of the River Thames.
On the 12th November, the festive celebrations will begin with a riverside launch and Christmas lights switch-on.
Throughout the season, visitors can expect everything from candlelit opera with local Aria wine pairings to live jazz and festive comedy specials. Family favourites will include Share the Light of Christmas – a merry musical for parents and little ones alike, Santa storytelling sessions with a twist, and the return of last year’s sold out Snow Ball NYE Family Rave, alongside Santa’s Roller Disco with family and adults-only sessions.
Meanwhile, every Friday in December Fulham Pier will also bring together live bands, uplifting gospel choirs, DJs and roaming illuminated performers for a magical after-dark riverside series of events. Visitors can also enjoy craft workshops ranging from snow globe making to jewellery making, as well as premium wreath-making sessions. A pop up gift-wrapping station over select weekends will feature specially designed paper created by local schools that is also available to purchase from the Pier’s giftshop daily, with funds raised to support pupils and champion young creativity.
For those with dogs, the season will also include dog-friendly experiences woven across the programme, including its very first Santa Paws, spreading merry spirit to all the Pier pups with special treats, shopping, and winter fun by the river with a live dog illustrator capturing bespoke festive portraits of guests’ furry companions.
Constance, the Michelin Guide-listed neighbourhood restaurant at Fulham Pier, will unveil its festive menu on 17th November, offering a contemporary take on Christmas dining, while its much-loved champagne and caviar trolley returns for the season, bringing an extra touch of indulgence to celebrations on the Thames. From 10 November, its sister cocktail venue Flo Bar will also serve a curated selection of seasonal cocktails and holiday-inspired small plates.
Visitors looking for an extended premium retreat on the riverside can also book in at Fulham Pier Hotel and the newly opened Sæl Spa will offer members a space in which to pause, restore and reset amid the bustle of the festive season. Whilst private members’ club Lighthouse Social, occupying the upper floors of Fulham Pier, will offer members a curated seasonal programme of supper clubs, masterclasses and a bespoke gifting concierge service.
Glen Sutton, Director of Fulham Pier, said “At a time of year that can feel incredibly busy, we wanted to create somewhere people are able to enjoy the festive season at their own pace, while still capturing all the magic and excitement that makes Christmas in London such a special time of year. Whether it’s markets, family experiences, live entertainment or simply spending time by the river, there will always be something new to discover at Fulham Pier this Christmas.”
