Event Description

A Fabulous Christmas Treat Awaits This October - November

The Art Exhibitionists bring art, craft and plenty of festive cheer to Sydenham from 30 October-1 November 2026

Christmas is coming early to Sydenham this year, as The Art Exhibitionists transform Sydenham Church, The Old School Room and the surrounding spaces into a festive celebration of creativity, community and Christmas spirit from Friday 30 October to Sunday 1 November 2026.

Visitors will be welcomed into a magical space packed with opportunities to find truly individual Christmas presents - the sort of gifts you won’t find on the high street - while enjoying a wonderfully relaxed and festive atmosphere.

There will be original art, handmade crafts, live music, artist demonstrations and creative drop-in activities, giving visitors the chance to have a go at something new. And, of course, there will be plenty of opportunities to enjoy cakes, minced pies, mulled wine, tea, coffee and maybe some pies along the way.

The Art Exhibitionists’ aim is simple: to wrap visitors up in a creative hug, kick-start the festive spirit and make Christmas shopping an enjoyable treat.

With Christmas presents bought early, you can head into November and December knowing that the shopping is done - leaving more time to relax, celebrate and enjoy time with friends and family.
