The 9th London Christmas Party Show!
Last month Story Events planned and delivered the ninth edition of the London Christmas Party Show. The Show featured over 100 exhibitors including a range of venues and suppliers for visitors to network with and be inspired by ahead of the Christmas season! This year’s exhibition was held again at the fantastic Haberdasher’s Hall. The event was well attended with over 800 visitors which was a 13% increase on LCPS 22.
The Show also had a great variety of Christmas-themed seminars. Our sister company Venue Search London hosted an inspiring seminar all about London’s new venue openings for 2023/24. The show also included a motivational session from our keynote speaker: Sarah Furness. Sarah is a former RAF helicopter pilot, No.1 best-selling author and performance expert. Her session explored the secrets to performing under pressure and greater productivity. Further engaging seminars included sessions surrounding sustainability, prioritising well-being in the festive season, venue sourcing, engaging guests before an event and sourcing suppliers to take your event to the next level.
Visitors also had the opportunity to participate in various workshops and get in the festive spirit! Workshops included a Winter Wreath Workshop by Gilded Bee, a Mini Terrarium Workshop by Studio Hoime and Christmas Cocktails with Mix & Match to name a few.
There was entertainment throughout the 2 days brought to us by our fantastic sponsor, Blank Canvas Entertainment. Sweet treats were also provided by the fantastic Pan-n-Ice and guests were treated to an ice cream flavour of their choice or a delicious waffle!
