Underbelly to transform Leicester Square for Christmas 2016

Underbelly, the production company behind the London Wondergound and Udderbelly festivals on the South Bank, is to transform Leicester Square into a Christmas destination from November.

Christmas in Leicester Square will feature markets, a grotto and the previously announced Spiegeltent, hosting popular show La Soiree.

Underbelly directors Ed Bartlam and Charlie Wood said said they would be bringing a “European Christmas to the centre of London”.

The event runs from November 11, 2016 to January 8, 2017.
