Good Housekeeping Live has announced it will join forces with the Country Living Christmas Fair for the first time in November 2024, hosting an event in central London, with stars from across entertainment, food, lifestyle and literature.
From 13-16 November, Good Housekeeping Live with Country Living Christmas Market say they will be welcoming over 12,000 visitors to the Business Design Centre for four days of conversation, culinary and fashion experiences, and opportunities to connect with some of the UK’s most influential figureheads.
The event will bring together over 20 voices from the worlds of entertainment, food, style and literature for a series of talks. The line-up for the event’s Good Conversation stage has now been finalised, with writer and broadcaster Caitlin Moran, presenter, Anita Rani, space scientist and science educator, Dr. Maggie Aderin-Pocock OBE and Strictly Come Dancing’s Anton Du Beke confirmed. Other names on the schedule include Tom Kerridge, Liz Earle, James Middleton, Dame Prue Leith, Lucy Worseley and Marian Keyes.
In addition to the talks, guests will be able to enjoy a line-up of workshops, food tasting experiences, wellness practices and literary discussions led by the Good Housekeeping UK team. The event will also include a festive shopping hall with 120 artisan traders offering one-of-a-kind gifts for the festive season, hand selected by experts at Country Living UK.
According to Good Housekeeping UK and Country Living UK, VIP ticket holders can enjoy an exclusive private members’ lounge featuring a whole range of extras – from taste testing the cookery team’s best-ever bakes, to exclusive product demos and the chance to rub shoulders with well-known stars.
Emma Justice, acting editor-in-chief of Good Housekeeping UK, said: “GH Live will be bigger and better than ever this year as we double both its length and its size. As well as a great line-up of fascinating speakers and demonstrations by the Good Housekeeping Institute, which celebrates its 100th anniversary this year, there will be lots more opportunities to shop, something visitors to last year’s sell out event said they wanted. So I’m thrilled that we’re joining forces with Country Living, one of our sister brands, to bring a wonderful selection of artisan makers to Good Housekeeping Live, giving everyone the chance to get ahead with their Christmas shopping.”
Louise Pearce, editor-in-chief of Country Living UK, said: “Country Living has been committed to supporting UK artisans and championing small business owners for over 35 years through our Summer and Christmas Fairs, and editorial features. We are proud to partner with Good Housekeeping for a reimagined Good Housekeeping Live and Country Living Christmas Market that offers customers a highly curated festive shopping experience comprised of one-of-a-kind gifts from over 100 artisan traders.”
