On Thursday 23 November Connaught Village will be holding a dog-friendly Christmas Shopping Evening to celebrate the festive season and brand new Christmas lights. The fun-filled evening will take place from 3-8pm where exclusive in-store discounts can be enjoyed, along with offers, activities and music throughout the village’s 45 shops and restaurants, close to Hyde Park. The Hyde Park Veterinary Centre will offer fee mini woofins (muffins) for dogs and Pawsecco still wine for dogs/cats. They will also have a pet photographer with lighting and a Christmas back drop so that people can have their photo taken with their pets and have a copy emailed to them free of charge.

Carol singing from local choirs will entertain shoppers as they make their way around the luxury shopping and dining destination under the sparkling lights.

Free activities include festive floral headband making and face painting for children, hot chocolate, and complimentary in-store Prosecco and mulled wine. Many of Connaught Village’s premium retailers will be offering one-off masterclasses and tutorials such as PDN London (style tutorials every hour), Abasto (empanadas masterclass), Buchanans Cheesemonger (cheese and wine pairing), Connaught Cellars (wine tasting) and Medicetics (free skin analysis).
