The 12 Neighs of Christmas (at Olympia!)

It’s not Christmas until Olympia, that hive of frenetic festivity and end-of-school excitement, where the Puissance wall is as red as Rudolph’s nose and the holiday cheer and festive fizz are plentiful, writes Tilly Berendt.

And the shopping – oh, the shopping! If ever you fancied a cleanse-and-detox of your bank account, this is the place to do it. Independent businesses nestle alongside sprawling tack shops, sweets stands, purveyors of pony books and custom clobber – everything you could possibly hope to find under your tree (including, perhaps, a dashing showjumper and his string of impossibly talented horses) is to be found under one cavernous roof. 

Have you made it to Olympia yet, or are you planning to head to London’s best horsey day out? We’d love to see your best finds…anything to distract us from our own rather colossal shopping list! In fact, it’s so expansive, it almost deserves its own song…
