Good Housekeeping Live with Country Living Christmas Market

Good Housekeeping Live with Country Living Christmas Market takes over the Business Design Centre in Islington from 11 to 14 November 2026. It's a four-day run that brings together two of the biggest names in home and lifestyle, Good Housekeeping and Country Living, to get the festive season started. If you're into the mix of shopping, talking and doing, this is exactly that.

There are three stages running throughout, so you can bounce between celebrity talks, craft workshops and live demonstrations. The main stage is where the big names gather: Dilly Carter, Trinny Woodall, Philippa Perry, Liz Earle, Elizabeth Day, Denise Lewis, Sophie Raworth, Monica Galetti, Marcus Wareing, Stephen and Anita Mangan, Greg Wise, Emma Barnett, Xand Van Tulleken and Hugh Bonneville. After the talks, you'll have the chance to meet the speakers and get books signed.

Then there's the market itself, which pulls together hundreds of British artisan makers across gifts, fashion, beauty, homeware, arts and crafts, and festive décor. A separate Food Hall brings together food and drink brands, with on-site personalisation and festive treats to sample. The New Artisans Gallery focuses on emerging brands and up-and-coming talent, and there are beauty makeovers and tasting sessions inspired by the Good Housekeeping Institute. The floors have a reputation for celebrity spotting, too, with the likes of Mary Portas, Andi and Miquita Oliver and Clare Balding spotted leaving with bags of goodies in previous years.

Tickets are £12.99 for a Silver Ticket and £50.00 for a VIP Ticket, which comes with extra experiences. Children under 16 go free, provided they're with another ticket holder, though they don't get a goody bag. It runs across four days at the Business Design Centre in Islington, so you can pick whichever day suits you best.
