Is there going to be a Christmas Market at Buckingham Palace? Rumours debunked as official statement issued
An official statement has been issued following confusion over Buckingham Palace’s plans this Christmas.
While it would be very iconic, there is not going to be a Christmas market at Buckingham Palace this Christmas.
Confusion seems to have started online this week after it was confirmed the royal spot’s Royal Mews would host a Christmas pop-up shop.
As explained on the Royal Collection Trust website the Christmas opening will see the 200-year-old stables into a festive boutique.
From November 14 to January 5, Londoners will be able to pop by to shop official royal gifts.
There will also be seasonal drinks and nibbles on offer with the spot also set to host a full-size advent calendar that will display new products, limited editions, exclusive treats and collector’s items each day.
However, to clarify it will not be a Christmas market.
In a joint post on Instagram by the Buckingham Palace Shop and Royal Collection Trust accounts a statement clarifying such was shared on Wednesday (September 24).
It explained: “Please note that the Royal Mews Christmas Shop is a pop-up shop selling Royal Collection Trust festive products within the existing Royal Mews shop space, and is not a Christmas market. There will not be a Christmas market at Buckingham Palace.”
