Set the Perfect Table for Christmas Masterclass

John Lewis Milton Keynes is hosting a festive tablescaping masterclass on Wednesday 9 December, run by their Home Design Stylists. It's an in-store session that walks you through the art of setting a Christmas table, from the first layer of linen to the final touches that pull it all together.

The stylists cover the practical side of things first: how to pick the right table linen and tableware for the occasion, and how to work with colour palettes that actually hold up. From there, it moves into the finer details—the thoughtful finishing touches that make a table feel considered rather than just thrown together. There are live styling demonstrations throughout, so you can see the ideas being put into practice in front of you, and they'll share the insider secrets they use when they're styling for their own clients.

It's aimed at anyone who wants to set a show-stopping table for the year's biggest gathering, whether you're hosting a small family dinner or something a bit larger. The session is exclusive to My John Lewis members, but if you are one, you can book additional tickets for friends and family through Eventbrite, so it works as a group thing if you've got a few people who'd be into it.

The masterclass runs for one hour, starting at 13:00 on Wednesday 9 December, and it's held in the Furniture Department on the first floor of John Lewis Milton Keynes, Marlborough Gate, MK9 3EP. Tickets are £10.
