Christmas at Clifton Nurseries is an enchanting time, when this exquisite, central London plant nursery gets dressed up in all its sparkling finery.

This year Clifton Nurseries is launching a new Christmas market, which will be held in the outdoor seating area of the cafe and comprises seven, independent and very stylish companies that will offer Christmas shoppers brilliant gift ideas and inspiration, in addition to those found at the nursery.

These companies include Baruzzo Fine Italian Chocolates, Emily Readett-Bayley: homes and gifts, Prometheus Bound Books: hand bound books, and stationery products, R & S Currie Toys: traditional toy shop and children’s party venue, Runaway Coast: homes and gifts, Tamara Fogle: bags and accessories and Tom’s Deli: providing an old fashioned sweet stall.

Each will bring something new and stylish to the nursery and add to the very special atmosphere that pervades Clifton at Christmas time.

The dates for the Christmas market are the first three weekends in December: 2nd, 3rd and 4th of December, 9th, 10th and 11th December and 16th, 17th and 18th December. The timings will be 12midday-5.30pm on a Friday, Saturday 10am-5.30, Sunday 11am-5pm. Entry is free of charge.
