Aldgate’s biggest free community festival is BACK! Aldgate’s biggest free community festival is BACK! Join us on 4 and 5 December for Aldgate in Winter 2025. 

It’s 1 week to go until we kick off our two-day Aldgate in Winter festivities, and remember, you’re ALL invited. There’ll be two days of live performances, craft workshops, giveaways, prizes, tree lights switch on, the iconic lantern parade and so much more. What are you most excited for?

Save, share and get ready to celebrate with us ❄️
The trend may be over, but we still think about th The trend may be over, but we still think about the Roman Empire on the daily. And If you haven't visited the City Wall at Vine Street this year, then we *highly* recommend you do. An annual dose of Roman London is Aldgate approved. As is SENZO's hot drink menu. Win-win. 

Here's just some of what you'll find there: 
1) A selection of artefacts found at the site
2) A cat that's remembered through history (or at least his toe beans are)
3) Medieval (animal) bones that were discovered at the site 
4) True North, pointing towards Aldgate
5) The Wall itself, with a clear display of its layers and building processes
6) A @wearesenzo brew with a centuries' old view.

We can’t wait for our festive wreath workshops 🌲 B We can’t wait for our festive wreath workshops 🌲 But even if you missed out on tickets, you can still make one of these stunning decorations at home. Here’s how to do it:

Equipment:
Circular metal frame
Moss
Cut fir
Florist wire/twine
Decorations like ribbons, pinecones and bells

Method:
1. Place clumps of moss on your metal frame and tightly wrap your florist wire to secure it in place, leaving at least 3cm between each wrap.
2. Take a few springs of cut fir to create a little bundle. Lay this at a 45-degree angle against your moss base, and attach it with more florist wire.
3. Repeat step two until your whole base is covered.
4. Decorate! Use the existing wire to slot in your decorations, or a little extra wire to attach the different pieces.
5. Finish with a bow, step back and admire your handiwork 🎀
