From 11 to 15 November, Islington’s BDC will become a Christmas wonderland, bringing the pages of Country Living Magazine to life. With dozens of stalls selling gifts, decorations, fashion, food, crafts and more, there’ll be everything you need to make your Christmas magical and unique. As well as a chance to meet designers, artisans and craftsmen, there is the opportunity to learn how to create your own handmade Christmas at the Fair’s series of talks and demonstrations. At LCB, we wish we were there to soak up the festive magic – but as we won’t be, here are the five things we think you should do to make the most of the Country Living Magazine Christmas Fair 2015!
1. Green & Black’s Taste Experience
Legendary chocolatiers Green & Black’s are visiting the Fair to give you a taste of what makes the brand behind the world’s first organic chocolate tick. Take a break from your shopping and let the Green & Black’s Organic Taste Team talk you through 20 unique flavours!
2. Late Night Thursday
Avoid the crowds on Thursday 12th November with a unique relaxed shopping experience from 5.30pm onwards. With carols and a few glasses of CodornÃu Cava to enjoy, the special ticket rate of £10 is certainly worth it!
3. Christmas Theatre
Country Living Magazine brings together a team of professional florists, chefs and wildlife experts for a programme of talks and demonstrations that will teach you how to entertain in style this festive season. From creating the perfect cheeseboard to styling your home for Christmas, each day of the Fair is filled with fascinating talks from 11am to 4.30pm.

5. People’s Choice Award
This year, Country Living Magazine is introducing the brand new People’s Choice Exhibitor Award. Near the front entrance of the Fair you’ll be able to see the shortlist of 14 products Country Living Magazine has selected from all of their exhibitors. Cast your vote and you’ll be in with a chance of winning the People’s Choice Hamper, which contains all the products in the shortlist!
