The Enchanted Forest Xmas Event – The Body Shop

the body shop xmas event

Straight after Halloween, out comes all the Christmas lights! It’s crazy how we’re celebrating the lead up to Christmas in November, it’s so early! But hey, if we’re extending the Christmas festivities an extra month then I’m not complaining. I recently went down to London Shoreditch to attend an event hosted by The Body Shop, which was their Enchanted Forest Christmas Event! When I heard that it was an enchanted forest, I just had to go. Who doesn’t want to feel like you just entered a mystical fairy tale?

All the money raised from this event would be donated to the charity.

Virtual Reality:

Photoshoot:

There were some good photo opportunities, such as The Body Shop swing (which was very popular as you can imagine), some tree-hugging snapshots and a photo booth.
