There's the Christmas Market right in the centre of the Square. It is small but with plenty of eateries and arts/crafts stalls. Since it's quite small, it can get very crowded so patience is key!
There's also a Santa's Grotto which you can either book online or at the box office on the day. It costs us £20 for 2 kids and it lasts for 25mins. The grotto was small and Sanata was good however I thought it was a bit disorganised. With so many kids, it go t a bit messy with children walking aroundinstead of sitting down therefore we couldn't listen to what Santa was saying. I thought if they better communicated as to what was to follow then the experience would have been better. Nevertheless the grotto was well decorated and the kids were happy with the gifts they received.
We then headed to Prince Charles to have a wonderful time singing along to The Muppets Christmas Carol! We love a good song along and we’ve never seen this Muppet movie so off we went to get holly! A funny Santa came and presented the movies before the movie started, all the people wearing something Christmassy were called to the stage as a competing. My kids were obviously in their Christmas jumpers and hats so off they went to model on stage. The competition was fierce and although they didn’t win, they got a nice cash out of it! We warmed up our singing voices by practicing a song and off the movie started! All the songs have subtitles so don’t worry if you don’t know any songs. I would definitely recommend to go to a sing-along movie! The atmosphere is something else!
Of course, there’s the usual M&M world and Lego shop (expect queues during busy times). The Lego store is in 2 floors with again lots of places to free build. MM world is set on 3 floors and all fully dedicated to those round chocolate delights! Lots of photo opportunities in both stores!
Covent Garden, China Town and Piccadilly Circus are all walking distance of you want to walk around to look at the Christmas lights!
