We loved listening to Clare Balding, we then went and had our book signed by her and met her personally. It was fabulous and she was so sweet.
Back and Bigger than ever for 2024
Kick off your Christmas with London’s all-new festive event: Good Housekeeping Live with Country Living Christmas Market.
For the first time, two iconic brands join forces to create a 4-day extravaganza of great conversations and show-stopping shopping! Hang out with your favourite TV stars, authors and experts, get involved with festive crafts, cooking demonstrations and taste tests or just kick back, relax and be pampered.
At the heart of the show is the Christmas Market where you’ll find unique stocking fillers, gorgeous gifts and irresistible treats for you and your home from hundreds of Country Living’s favourite British artisan makers.
Bring your friends and family for a fabulous, packed day out. Christmas starts here!
Let's go, Christmas!
This is the show that marks the start of the festive season – and for 2026, it’s bigger and better than ever.
This November, Good Housekeeping Live with the Country Living Christmas Market returns as a four-day extravaganza, transforming the Business Design Centre in Islington into the ultimate Christmas day out.
Prosecco at 11am? Absolutely. Cheese bought on an industrial scale? Go for it. Self-gifting? Encouraged. You can even tell Anton Du Beke* that you love him (*we can’t confirm or deny that several of the GH team did exactly that in 2024).
Tick off your Christmas gift list with beautiful handcrafted buys from hundreds of artisan sellers, treat yourself to a beauty makeover, enjoy celebrity talks and craft workshops, and sample plenty of festive flavours with the Good Housekeeping Institute. Did we mention Prosecco?
We’re so excited for 2026 – let’s go, Christmas!
We were joined by some brilliant guests...

What our visitors say
It’s been really nice to find things that we wouldn’t have normally thought about as Christmas presents – it’s a really nice way to start the festive season.
I loved the choir! There’s so much here to see. It’s really good fun and it kick starts Christmas.
It was really lovely to meet some of the GH team and i was delighted with my goodie box along with my GH subscription.
Great vibe – went alone, from choice, but chatted to other ladies present. Enjoyed it very much and would go again.
Very nicely greeted at the door on my way in and as I was leaving, which started and ended the day really well, whole event well organised!
The talk I attended was great. The two giving the talk were very knowledgeable and informative.
I had an excellent time there and would think seriously about attending another Good Housekeeping and Country Living event.
Great venue, catering had good choices, stalls very varied – it was a fab day with my friend.
Great experience & a lovely VIP goody bag!
