Events and activities taking place in the lead up to Christmas in Elephant & Castle:
Elephant & Castle’s 12 Days of Christmas trail
When: Opening 18th November 2019
Location: Elephant & Castle Shopping Centre
Cost: FREE
Head down to Elephant & Castle to discover the immersive Christmas trail, based on the ‘12 days of Christmas’ – a display capturing every element of the infamous song.

Imagine an entirely gold space kitted out with gold chandeliers, and illuminated rings to emulate the ‘5 gold rings’ and an immersive video wall with a dance routine for ‘ladies dancing’. There will also be a chance to win a festive prize* for those taking part in the 12 Days of Christmas trail competition. Elephant and Castle’s Community Hub choir will also be performing its rendition of ‘12 days of Christmas’ on 27thNovember opposite the Community Hub, between 5pm and 6pm in the Elephant & Castle Shopping Centre.
