Christmas 2025 Events and Festivities in Peckham SE15

London is a magical place at any time of year, but at Christmas time, it gets an added injection of sparkle. British winters might be dark and dreary, but December in London somehow makes us forget all the gloom.

Here's a guide to some of the best events near Peckham over the festive period:

Copeland Park & Bussey Building

On Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th December Pexmas Market returns to Unit 8 at Copeland Park. Open between 11am to 6pm.  Your one stop festive shop, street food, mulled wine, music and bags of Pexmas cheer right in the heart of SE15.

Whilst on Saturday 13th December, a festive edition of the DIY Art Market will be showcasing work by 150 up-and-coming artists and makers. Browse art prints, risograph and screen prints, zines, sculptures, jewellery, sewn items, and much more — with mince pies and mulled wine available to enjoy as you browse.  The following day 14 December 2025 a Christmas Independent Ceramics Market runs at the same venue - the perfect opportunity to pick up a unique Christmas gift for friends, family, and yourself this festive season.

Alice in Wonderland at Theatre Peckham

Step into a world turned upside down… where time bends, logic flips, and nothing is quite what it seems. This December, you're invited on a journey through WONDERLAND with a bold reimagining of a timeless tale, bursting with music, colour and characters you won’t forget.  In a place full of strange creatures, strange rules, and even stranger riddles, Alice must use her smarts, spark and imagination to find her way. With Christmas fast approaching, can she make it back in time and see the world in a brand new way. Performaces available between 5th to 23rd December.

Bussey Rooftop Bar and Ice Rink

Sky-high skating. Twinkly nights. Big city vibes. This winter, the rooftop cinema set up’s on ice (metaphorically). From 17th November to January 1st, this space flips into London’s freshest and highest rink – a tree-laden, skyline-skimming spot where you can skate under the stars and vibe with the city lights. Off the ice, Bussey Rooftop Bar transforms into an aprés-skate Winter Lodge – your cosy, twinkly escape – heaters on, blankets wrapped, and wintery drinks flowing.   

Christmas Day and New Years Day Parkruns at Peckham Rye Parkrun

Peckham Rye Parkrun will be holding festive 5k community event parkruns on both Christmas Day (Thursday 25th December) and New Year's Day (Thursday 1st January), starting 9 a.m. at Peckham Rye Park, Colyton Road, Southwark, London, SE15 4JR.
