This winter, London’s newest riverside destination,
Fulham Pier, is stepping ‘Into the Woods’ for its debut festive
season – a magical forest-themed celebration on the Thames.
From now until January 2026, Fulham Pier is transformed into an enchanted winter oasis, complete with giant pine trees, a cosy cabin, twinkling riverwalk paths, and interactive digital art revealing snowy forests and miniature alpine villages through frosted
windows.
Throughout the season, visitors can enjoy the unique calendar of festive events, featuring Santa story times, festive roller discos, beanie making workshops, a Christmas market championing local artisan, live music, and delicious food stalls within the riverside
food hall.
Families, friends and couples can indulge in seasonal dining across the pier’s restaurants and bars from Brasserie Constance’s new festive menu by Michelin-starred chef Adam Byatt, to Christmas cocktails at Flo Bar and the London Essence Cocktail Bar.
Special events include Candlelight Concerts, Moët Champagne Afternoon Teas, and a family-friendly ‘Noon Year’s Eve’ celebration. The festive schedule also features film screenings, Santa’s Brunch, and family workshops, ensuring a magical experience for everyone.
For Christmas shopping, visitors can browse Trinity Flowers’ new boutique and the pier’s year-round gift shop, filled with seasonal treats, candles and stocking fillers like beer for your dog. Those wishing to extend their visit can enjoy a riverside stay at
the newly opened Fulham Pier Hotel, offering luxurious rooms and sweeping views across the Thames.
Duncan Mitchell, Creative Programming Manager at Fulham Pier, added: “Our Into the Woods theme is all about creating a bit of escapism on the riverfront – somewhere people can slow down, explore and feel part of something special. It’s our
first Christmas at Fulham Pier, and we wanted it to feel genuinely magical – from the large scale of the decorations to the food, music and sense of community”.
From riverside brunches and afternoon strolls to late-night dining and live entertainment, Fulham Pier offers a day-to-night Christmas experience where festivity and community meet on the Thames.
