Celebrating over 60 years

Founded in 1961, the Guildhall Christmas Market is one of the largest fundraising event for the British Red Cross and one of London’s most successful Christmas Markets. The gothic splendour of the City’s most renowned medieval building, the Guildhall, provides a truly atmospheric and memorable venue for this special event.

Shop to support

Funds raised will support the humanitarian work of the Red Cross, helping people in crisis in the UK and in 191 countries across the world. The British Red Cross is part of a movement that is there for people as soon as crisis hits. It is your support that makes us the world’s emergency responders, whether we’re supporting people after the impact of flooding here in the UK, being there for families fleeing Ukraine, or responding to any other emergency.

Together, we can keep giving hope and help to people whose lives have been turned upside down.
