A huge thank you to all who joined us as we concluded another incredible year of the Aldgate in Winter Festival!

Aldgate’s favourite festival returned for its 9th year with a two-day celebration on Thursday 4th and Friday 5th December 2025.

The festivities began on Thursday with free hot chocolate and mulled wine, while performers brought the stage to life across both days with music, dance and festive celebration. On the Friday, the iconic Lantern Parade lit up the streets of Petticoat Lane, and our much-loved Community Feast served 500 hot meals from local restaurants.

If you joined us for any of the Aldgate in Winter celebrations, we’d greatly appreciate if you would share your thoughts in our short feedback form. Please share your feedback ahead of the deadline of 6:00pm on Wednesday 17th December, in order to be entered into prize draw to win a £50 City Gift Card.

The Aldgate in Winter Festival reflects the spirit of Aldgate and we at Aldgate Connect BID feel honoured to work alongside such an amazing and enthusiastic community.
