Hatton Garden Centre & Shopping village is to host a special late night Christmas shopping event on Friday 22 November from 6pm-8pm. Since its conversion from traditional Victorian farm buildings some 40 years ago, Hatton Shopping Village is home to over 20 independent shops in the old cart stalls.

The event, which is free to enter, will enable visitors to explore a wide range of shops to find the perfect gifts in this charming, festive shopping destination. The village features a wonderful selection of traders and services, from ladieswear, sweets, bikes and crafts to a hairdresser, beautician, physiotherapist and more.  

Father Christmas will be there to switch on the lights, whilst Mary and Joseph will be walking donkeys around the village for children to see. Visitors can also enjoy roasted chestnuts, and listen to traditional Christmas carols from a contemporary 100+ choir.

Hatton Garden Centre, which is owned by British Garden Centres, one of the UK’s leading garden centres, will also be opening their popular Christmas shop. The store will feature several inspirational Christmas themes, each packed full of ideas to help visitors create the most magical Christmas imaginable.

The popular outdoor Christmas Markets will return every weekend until Sunday 22 December, from 11am-5pm. A diverse range of stalls from local suppliers will be selling a multitude of unique and special gifts. 

Johnnie Arkwright, owner at Hatton Shopping Village and Hatton Country World, said “We’re absolutely thrilled to invite you to our enchanting late-night shopping event and Christmas markets, designed to wrap you in the festive spirit! Our markets will be brimming with delightful Christmas treasures and one-of-a-kind gifts, perfect for spreading joy to loved ones. Immerse yourself in the warmth of Christmas carols, savour a hot toddy or a mince pie, and bask in the wonderful festive ambiance. Hatton truly is a magical place for Christmas shopping - a cosy, one-of-a-kind haven that feels like Christmas itself!”
