A four-day indoor Christmas shopping show at the SEC in Glasgow with around 100 festive retailers, held alongside the Creative Craft Show each October.
Simply Christmas is an indoor Christmas gift show held in a hall at the SEC on the Glasgow riverside, running at the same time as the organiser's Creative Craft Show and Stitching Show – one ticket covers all three.
The organisers bill it as around 100 festive retailers under one roof, selling Christmas decorations, gifts, jewellery, clothing, ceramics, soft furnishings, glassware, art and home accessories. There are festive workshops (best booked ahead), live music and photo opportunities with Father Christmas at the entrance.
It is one of the earliest Christmas shopping events in Scotland, taking place in late October. There is paid parking near the SEC.
