Join the Wapping Wharf Christmas festivities on December 2nd!

On Saturday, December 2nd, the independent businesses at Wapping Wharf will be coming together to celebrate Christmas from 12pm to 6pm.

On the day, there’ll be a whole host of offers and discounts at Wapping Wharf, as well as special Christmas food and drink and more. Expect everything from a satsuma peeling competition to Madeira tasting, Greek seasonal specials to mulled wine and cider, a hog roast to Christmas mandarin Margaritas…there’ll be something for everyone, and some surprise entertainment too!
