Buy A Christmas Tree

You can buy real Christmas trees, between three and 10 feet, plus stands, lights and decorations -  and arrange same day delivery if you can't carry them home - from Pines and Needles at Westfield. Flower Fayre in the West 12 Centre also has trees, table decorations and wreaths for the door.

Choose a Charity Card

If you want your Christmas cards to help a good cause, buy them from the Card Aid shop at Shepherd's Bush's Library at Westfield, selling cards benefiting around 300 different charities, or from a local charity shop such as FARA at 84 Uxbridge Road and Age Concern at 110 Uxbridge Road.

Keep the Kids Occupied

The Music House for Children in Uxbridge Road has two events for young people in the week before Christmas:

Yoo Hoo & The Icy Wind
0 – 6 years Family Show
December 20 NS 21 at 11am and 2pm
Adults £6, Children £4, Under 1yrs Free
A new Christmas tale using live instruments, storytelling & dancing. This action packed magical adventure stars Yoohoo, our hedgehog hero, and the oh-so-cold, Icy Wind whistling around your toes…

3 – 5 years Music & Craft Workshop
Monday 20th December 10-11:30am
Children £15
Based on Yoo Hoo & The Icy Wind, Children & their parent/adult friend will experience a musical storytelling adventure which includes making an Icy Wind face mask & more.

There are also events for children at local libraries and Santa is in his Ice Kingdom at Westfield. Adventurous young visitors can combine a visit to his grotto with a trip onto the centre's ice rink.

Share the Love!

We Love Shepherd's Bush is continuing in December, offering a range of great deals and discounts from around 30 local shops, pubs, restaurants, beauty parlours and other businesses. 

Pick up a free We Love Shepherd's Bush card from any of the participants and get money off purchases of everything from phones to footwear, special deals on meals and a chance to treat yourself or someone close to you at a bargain price.

If you know of any special events going on in W12 over the festive season or any restaurants which will be staying open on Christmas Day, please let us know at editor@shepherdsbushw12.com and we will add them.
