Covent Garden in London is currently hosting Christmas Deluxe, a "unique and lavish Christmas experience" – with no Santa Clauses in sight.
Christmas Deluxe sees Covent Garden's cobble-stoned piazza transformed by lights for a series of events in the run-up to Christmas.
Performances lined up for the festive season include aerial shows from the Dream Engine and 'fusion theatre' performances from Strange Fruit.
Covent Garden will also be home to what is billed as the world's first ever 'decoration exchange', as well as a bespoke gift-wrapping service.
Christmas Deluxe also brings a luxury food market to London, selling festive fare ranging from French hens to figgy puddings.
Why not include a visit to Christmas Deluxe in your weekend break in London? You could stay close by in a Best Western hotel in Central London.
