Santa Lucia Choir & Candle Workshop
13 December
12pm - 5pm
Experience the enchanting sounds of the Santa Lucia Choir as they sing traditional Swedish songs in honor of Saint Lucy, a symbol of hope and light. A girl dressed as 'Lucia' leads the procession, wearing a white gown and a crown of candles, followed by others in white, each holding candles. This creates a breathtaking and heartwarming spectacle.
While enjoying the music, create your own candle in our free workshop—the perfect way to add a festive touch to your day. Don’t miss this joyful event—we can’t wait to see you there!
Christmas Gift Wrapping
16 - 17 December
12pm - 6pm
Join us at Livat Hammersmith on 16-17 December and let us help you get your gifts wrapped with a festive touch!
If you’ve purchased your gifts at Livat, simply bring them to our wrapping stand (up to two items per person). It’s free, but you can give a small donation to charity on-site.
Not only will your presents look beautiful, but you’ll also be spreading holiday cheer and supporting a good cause. It’s the perfect way to give a little extra love this season!
Livat Gift Swap Shop
16 - 17 December
12pm - 5pm
Sometimes, even your loved ones make a mistake when it comes to gift-giving. We all have received things that leave us thinking, “What on earth am I supposed to do with this?”
If you’ve got one of those lurking in your closet, now’s your chance to swap it for something you’ll actually enjoy! Visit the Livat Gift Swap Shop on 16-17 December between 12pm-5pm.
Maybe it’s that novelty sweater from last year or the quirky mug that doesn’t quite fit your vibe. Don’t let it gather dust—bring it to Livat and trade it for something you (or someone else) will truly love!
Spread some holiday cheer, and leave with something you’ll actually use. Whether you’re treating yourself or finding the ideal re-gift for someone else, the Livat Xmas Gift Swap Shop is the place to be!
Gospel Choir
22 - 23 December
3pm - 430pm
Watch our exceptionally talented, local Hammersmith Gospel choir 'Gold', as they perform your favourite tunes to complement your late-night shopping!
