THE festive season is just around the corner and, though the chill in the air hasn't quite arrived yet, we’re getting into the spirit of the season.
All across Ealing and Acton, there are festive activities - and Winkworth estate agents have compiled a round-up, which we’re happy to share.
Ealing Broadway
A winter market, snow flurries on a clear day, live music, and even Santa himself - what more could you ask for? New events every day:

Pop-up Card Shop
There are two types of people: those who send their Christmas cards on the first of November, or those who are running door-to-door on December 24. If you’re in the first category, it’s a shame as you will have missed the Ealing Pop-up Charity Christmas card shop.
Seasonal spooks
If you like a fright on Christmas night, Questors Ealing Theatre has you covered. It has once again dimmed its stage lights to bring tales of ghosts and ghouls.
This year, phantom ships lie in wait and ghostly happenings can drive even the most strait-laced sailor to madness. One night only.

Treasure in The Fox Garden
Strolling through a market is a new tradition for many and The Fox Garden is hosting its own, with more stalls than ever

Father Christmas at Gunnersbury
Step back in time with a truly Victorian experience that Scrooge would learn to love, with decorations to take home. You can even pay a visit to the man himself.

Community celebration
Over 10 days, Acton Market is celebrating everything we love about this time of year - and it all starts with a tree lighting ceremony.
