Unforgettable experiences this season

Visit the Barbican this festive season for what you expect and what you don’t expect!

There's something for everyone - from the traditional Raymond Gubbay Christmas Festival to the amazing RSC’s My Neighbour Totoro. Not to mention our bars, restaurants and cafés all serving up seasonal favourites.

Looking for a gift? Our shops have you covered. Or, you can give a year of art, music, film and theatre with Gift Membership. It's the best of the Barbican, all wrapped up.

Festive food and drink

Head to the Benugo café or Barbican Kitchen for warming festive drinks, classic Christmas sandwiches and festive bakes. Enjoy a Christmas Burger and cocktails at Barbican Bar & Grill, a traditional Christmas dinner at Barbican Brasserie, and festive cocktails in the Martini Bar.

Gifts for culture lovers

Explore our gifts with a difference, from books and accessories to exclusive commissions from emerging designers and makers.

Pick up something special for a My Neighbour Totoro fan from our curated collection. Our eco-conscious range of hand-crafted natural soaps, homeware items and exclusive art pieces are inspired by our current exhibition RE/SISTERS: A Lens on Gender and Ecology. Or, celebrate the iconic styles and designs of the 1970’s in our Boogie Wonderland range.

Why not pick something up for yourself and deck the halls with our disco ball baubles & fairy lights, rainbow glitter tree ornaments and a ‘kitchen disco’ neon light box?
