Get ready for a season of enchantment as St Katharine Docks reveals its festive lineup for 2024! This iconic waterside destination is pulling out all the stops to bring joy and sparkle to London this winter.
Kick off the holiday season with the grand Christmas lights switch-on event on Thursday 14th November 2024 from 5:30 to 7 p.m. The Docks will come alive with maritime-themed lights, charming lanterns, and a dazzling Christmas Tree. New this year is a larger-than-life, walk-through illuminated boat—a picture-perfect spot to capture the magic of the season!
This free event will feature heartwarming performances by school choirs from St Peter’s London Docks Primary and Stepney Greencoat Primary. Plus, Santa himself will make an appearance, bringing cheer, tasty mince pies, and early holiday treats for young visitors.
As part of their festive spirit, St Katharine Docks invites everyone to give back through the Kids Out Giving Tree initiative. Visitors can select a tag from the grand Christmas tree and purchase a gift between £5 and £20, supporting children affected by domestic abuse. With help from IGY Marinas, Unitrust, and the estate’s team, every thoughtful gift will reach those in need.
The holiday cheer continues with a festive market along the waterfront from November 22 to December 22. Discover unique, hand-crafted gifts and delicious seasonal treats from local artisan traders—perfect for holiday shopping or indulging in a cosy snack by the water.
