Christmas at St Pancras International is a magical time of year; each festive season the station partners with the world’s best loved brands to create spectacular Christmas tree designs, offering visitors and commuters a taste of something different.
This year a phenomenal Christmas tree has been unveiled at the heart of The Arcade. We will surprise and delight commuters with entertainment and events in partnership with our Christmas tree sponsor, Cirque du Soleil.
From 1st December the station’s Christmas in the Community music programme will also kick off, bringing festive cheer to shoppers with different musical acts performing in the station every day in the lead up to 25th December.
The stunning, 11.5-metre-high creation includes a giant luminescent glass orb at its centre featuring moving projections from Cirque’s latest show, Amaluna. Taking pride of place on the concourse at St Pancras International until 3 January 2016, the tree will also bring the show to life for visitors and commuters through a program of exclusive activities including a workshop with MAC cosmetics, the official make up supplier for the show, and a family-friendly Christmas bauble decorating class.
Their most successful show in history, Amaluna, arrives at London’s Royal Albert Hall in the New Year, inviting audiences to a mysterious island governed by Goddesses and guided by the cycles of the moon. Based on Shakespeare’s The Tempest, Amaluna draws on the theme of female empowerment with a cast made up of 70% women and an all-female band.
