On Saturday the 17th and Sunday the 18th December 2016, Tootopia’s festive lil’ bro' is back again for a weekend of fabulously festive fun across multiple venues in Tooting, South West London.

Under twinkling lights at Graveney & Meadow, hungry folk can tuck into some of London’s tastiest street food at the Street Food Takeover, back again after a successful summer edition at Tootopia 2016. Expect a melting pot of winter warming cuisine cooked live by Saffa Hut (South Africa), The Gravy Train (Canada), Naughty Roti (India), Gyoza Guys (Japan), Salvador Lane Barbecue and Sticky Beaks. This year boozy hot chocolate is up for grabs alongside mulled faves at the outdoor bar and for wintry cocktails like ‘Bad Santa’ head to Tooting’s newest, Ekcovision as it transforms into a wintry cavern of ice and snow!

On Saturday morning, those seeking last-minute stocking fillers can head over to Tooting Tram & Social for the Tootsmas Winter Market where over twenty magical designer-makers unpack trinkets ready to wear, wrap or keep. Nostalgia overload provided by cheesy holiday ditties and cinema classics on the big screen. In the evening the White Christmas Fair takes over Tooting Market for late night shopping, foodie treats and drinking sessions.

Little hands can get crafty making their very own Christmas decorations or meet Santa Claus himself in our very first Tootsmas grotto! Grown-ups can take a break from the action and enjoy a twist on the Christmas play with performances by 6X10, or a sing-along with local musicians Cygnet Players and Niall Kelly or the merry beats provided by resident DJ's across the weekend.

As the night draws in, Tootsmas goes late-night to compliment the Night Tube; a one off festive Burlesque show at The Antelope and a merry 50’s-themed party at Graveney & Meadow.

Tootopians can top off their Tootsmas weekend with a Tootsmas Brunch followed by the highly-anticipated Pooch Parade – a showing of Tooting’s cutest canines, with certificates and prizes for the top dogs! Tickets are free and you can sign up via Eventbrite here. Fancy dress encouraged!

Other venues still tbc are The Castle, The Trafalgar and Broadway Market.

Help us in spreading good cheer locally and say hello to this year's charity participants which include the Balham & Tooting RSPCA and WelCare and St Georges Hospital Charity who'll be pitching up at our winter markets across the weekend.

This and much much more awaits at the 2nd annual Tootsmas celebrations!
