The Yuletide season is nearly upon us — it’s almost time to deck the halls and kickstart that Christmas feeling: one of tradition, magic and luxury.

All of these things you’ll find here (and more): not least our delightful new winter terraces, including Fortnum & Mason heated seating beneath our iconic portico — as well as several new brand openings to explore.

Stuck for party ideas or not sure where to start the preparations? We’ve got guides for booking your event at The Royal Exchange and planning the most fabulous feast.

Two new exhibitions opening this month — including a live sculpture created under the iconic pillars of our building and a festival celebrating women’s art — ensure November will be a month to remember.

And we’ve teamed up with The Handbook to offer one lucky reader the chance to win The Libertine’s famous Sunday roast for four, along with bottomless red wine. Enter here to win this hearty winter feast.

From the culinary to the cultural, Christmas is coming to The Royal Exchange. Rejoice!
